Before You Play

Like Binky and Arthur, we all have embarrassing things happen to us. Use a puppet or stuffed animal to help children talk about how to deal with those moments. Have the puppet explain that something very embarrassing happened in school (for example, he fell in a mud puddle) and everyone laughed. Now he doesn’t want to play with the other kids because he thinks they will make fun of him. In your own voice, encourage children to talk to the puppet and help him feel better. Have the puppet ask: “What should you do about classmates who tease you?”

Materials

Directions

Hang a clothesline so children can reach it.

Cut pant shapes from different patterns of wallpaper or wrapping paper.

Assign a number or letter to each pair of pants and write it on each leg. Cut each pair into two pieces.

Give each player half of a pair of pants. The object of the game is to find the player who has the matching half with the same letter or number.

Have partners then hang both pant halves next to each other on the clothesline.
