Where’s Spot?By Eric Hill

It’s dinner time, and where can Spot be? He’s in the house somewhere.

Is he behind the door?

Is he inside the clock?

Is he in the Piano?

Is he under the stairs?

Is he inside the wardrobe?

Is he under the bed?

Is he in the box?

Is he under the rug?

Is he in the basket?

There you are spot. Good boy, now go and eat your dinner.

Where's Spot Preschool ActivitiesActivity 1- Use an object such as a small stuffed dog. Ask students to sit in a circle. Put a chair and a box in the center of the circle. Go around the circle asking each student individually to follow your directions. For example: "Please put the (object) under the chair." or "Please put the (object) in the box." or "Please put the (object) in front of the chair." Vary it by using a students name, "Please put

the (object) behind Michael" or "Please put the (object) beside Ann."Activity 2- Play the "Hot and Cold Game". One student hides his/her eyes or goes out in the

hallway while a special item is hidden. Then the student tries to find the hidden object while the students say, "Hot,hotter.." when the student gets closer to the object. They say "Cold,colder" when

they are farther way from the object. When the student finds the hidden object, they need to verbalize where it was. For example,"The dog was under the table." Remind students to use inside

voices!Activity 3- Students take turns following a two-step direction given by the teacher. "Put the crayon

behind Michael and the paper on the table." or "Go backward two steps and sit on the floor."Activity 4- Each day, after you have read Where's Spot, move a paper cut-out dog to a different place somewhere on the walls in the room. When the students enter the room at the beginning of the day they will look for the dog. Call on someone to tell you where it is. For example:"The dog is next to the clock." or "The dog is above the door." or "The dog is in the tree on the bulletin board."
