Are you teaching with an owl theme or topic? Perhaps you're implementing some lessons and activities for
- nocturnal animals
- day and night
- informational writing
We have some owl activities and resources ready for you!
Today I have a no-prep language and listening game to share with you. It will help children distinguish between two sounds made by ow (owl and yellow). Use it for a literacy warm-up, lessons transitions, movement or brain breaks.
Owl and Crow
- yellow owl is up in the tree
- black crow is below (on the grass)
- tell students to listen carefully to the words you say
- when they hear ow (as in owl) they stand and stretch (up to the brown branch where owl is sitting)
- when they hear ow (as in crow) they sit (down on the grass below)
- say words and have students stand and stretch of sit when they hear the sound in the word
