Cool it Busy Bags

After the last post I started thinking about children who are upset/angry and are sent to time out. I thought that perhaps they could do an activity in a busy bag which might help refocus the negative behaviour with something positive. I have come up with these ideas

Stretch a sentence

I absolutely love this idea found on Pinterest. I made my own version. What a fab way to get more interesting sentences out of the children.

Peg the number

I saw this idea on a German site and thought it was brilliant aswell as very adaptable to other things.
Basically you have to put numbers on pegs (a small sticker should do it). Number the pegs from 1-10. The child has to match the correct number to the number of Jellybeans.
This could be adaptable in many different ways.
Matching phonemes
Matching colours
Matching number sentences to the correct answer
Times tables
It is such a simple idea but fabulous for challenge areas in classrooms and look at all the fine motor skills that are needed to actually peg onto the wheel.

The list is endless.

I have made one for cvc words and emotional literacy

I used pegs and wrote with permanent markers, afterall how cheap are pegs?

All about me

A super little worksheet downloadable from here. The many pieces of me. Could be used as a self esteem activity or a back to school activity for a new class display.
