If you were hanging out for a while, you might have seen my previous Brown Bear, Brown Bear post. This book is awesome for preschool students. I wanted to be able to share some of my activities with you as an instant download, so I grabbed some super cute clipart and made this book companion unit.
The document is 82 pages in length. I know that's hefty! I hope everything you find it in will help you with your caseload. A lot of the pages are black and white which is decrease the color printing and increase your student's interaction.
Check out a sneak peek at the 17 different activities included in the packet!
Adapted
Circle Idea: Use low-tech AAC devices to target
sound discrimination and allow minimally verbal students to participate during
circle time. Prediction Prompts:
Pre-reading question prompts.
Sequencing:
Cut
and glue to complete the story sequence.
Comprehension: Answer yes/no questions about the
animals.
Bingo: Play Bingo to
work on a variety of speech and language objectives (examples provided.)
Basic
Concepts: Use the cards to have students
identify/name basic spatial concepts.
Category

the items
by color onto the sorting mats.
Color
Sorting:
Sort the animals from the story onto the
given sorting mats.
Articulation:
Do-A-Dot reinforcer
sheet and homework page.
Felt
Board/Puppet Cutouts: Make story pieces for retell. Add
popsicle sticks to make puppets. Add velcro to
the back of each picture to make them felt board pieces.
Phonological
Awareness: Counting syllables and initial sound
worksheets. Answer sheet included for independent work.
Sentence
Strips:
Use
each
sentence strip for students working on sentence generation or articulation in
sentences. Use any other picture card in the packet to fill in the animals.
Game Boards: Use this
generic game board with dice and markers. Use any speech or language fun deck
of cards. Help the students find their teacher.
Color
Book:
Give
each
student one book and one set of directions. Have the student follow the
directions for coloring each animal. When they are finished, assemble the book
and staple.
Story
Telling Mat: Let the
child use the included mat to retell the story.
Verb Bears: Give each
student one cave to keep their bears on. During their turn the student should
pull a card. If they get a bear, create a sentence (ex: He is running.) If they
draw paw prints, their bears ran away
and should put all the cards back.
Part-Whole
Matching:
Cut
apart
and mix up pieces. Let students match up the animals to its corresponding
parts.
You can grab the document here on my TPT store! Let me know what you think!























It's great to have the preK student actually hide their bear in a cave and produce the verb from a play situation. Love the ability to have sent. strips and create a game to learn language.

Hello! I love your blog and have downloaded a few of your materials. They all just work, a testament to the time and effort you put into them. I have a question though! What program do you use to make all of your materials? I've seen similar products (fonts, borders, etc.) and wondered what it is that you use. Please let me know! I would appreciate it! Thank you!
