Materials needed: blank sheet(s) of paper, song title template, writing utensils.
Step 1: Print the page of song titles below and cut along the lines.
Step 2: Place the cut out song titles in a hat or bowl and shake it to mix them up.
Step 3: One at a time, each player will draw a song title from the hat/bowl (be sure not to show anyone).
Step 4: During their turn, the player will draw clues to their song title on a blank sheet of paper. At this point, other players will try to guess the song title based on what is drawn.
Note: This can be played with two or more players. I have also included a blank template so that song titles can be written in or changed.

Materials needed: a ball that can be written on (preferably a lightweight inflatable ball such as a beach ball), marker, recorded music.
Step 1: Take the ball that you will be writing on, and write sight words in various spots on the ball (see image below). Make sure to space the words out.
Step 2: Start playing recorded music (you can choose whichever song you would like) and pass the ball around the room (or if only one person, you can toss the ball in the air).
Step 3: When the music stops playing, the last person to catch the ball will place both hands on the ball. (If only one person, catch the ball and place both hands on the ball when the music stops).
Step 4: Look at where your thumbs landed on the ball and find the closest word to your thumbs. Spell out the word and read the word aloud to the group.
Step 5: Repeat as many times as you would like.
Step 1: Print the sample sheet of numbers provided below, or you can also use number flashcards (1-10) from other sources as well.
Step 2: Sing the song "The Ants Go Marching" using the following lyrics.
Step 3: After each verse, ask the student to point out the correct number. For example, after the third verse (ants go marching 3 by 3) ask them to point to the number 3.
Step 4: Repeat as long as would like up to the number 10.
Lyrics:
The ants go marching 1 by 1, hoorah, hoorah (x2). The ants go marching 1 by 1 the little one stops to play his drum. And they all go marching down to the ground, to get out of the rain. Boom boom boom boom (x2).
2 by 2: Tie his shoe.
3 by 3: Climb a tree.
4 by 4: Shut the door.
5 by 5: Take a dive.
6 by 6: Pick up sticks.
7 by 7: Pray to heaven/Call it even
8 by 8: Open the gate.
