Title: Pattern Walk
Objective: Patterns and counting
Materials:
-Numbered Carpet Squares (at least enough for each student)
-White Board and Marker
-"Winner Bag" with number cards #1-# of squares
-Pattern bag with number cards #1-#10
-CD player and age appropriate CDs
Set Up:
-Before students arrive, arrange carpet squares in numerical order, in the shape of a rectangle.
-Make sure each bag has correct numbers
-Prepare white board
Adaptions:
-For younger students, use smaller numbers and a two part pattern instead of three or four
-For the visually handicapped, lead the student around the squares, and make numbers on the cards bigger
Before Playing: Review with students the concept of patterns
How to Play:
-Start by having the students find a carpet square to stand on
-Next have one student draw a number from the "winner" bag and record it on the white board
-Now depending on the age, have 2-4 students draw a number from the pattern bag. These numbers will become the pattern movement. Example: Forward 2 backward 5.
-Record the pattern on the white board for the students to use as a reference.
-Play the music
-As the music plays, have the students walk around the carpet squares using the pattern
-Randomly stop the music and whoever is on the winning number, is the winner.
-Repeat the process to play more rounds. Be sure to draw new numbers each round.
-Have fun!
-If the students are having trouble, play with them
-Adapt the numbers for the pattern based on ages
