Musical Flowers

Make flowers out of construction paper and laminate them. Make one for every child in your class plus a few extra (just in case). I made my flowers different colors and put # in the center of them. You could put shapes on them too if you wish. Then you put on some music (something to do with spring or plants or gardens would be fun) and have then children walk around the flowers. Then when the music stops, you call out a number, shape or color (adjust to their age/ability). The child standing near that flower holds it up and then they get to choose a treat/sticker and then be your helper and watch the other children until the activity is over. This is great because you can ask your 2 year old what color their flowers is, your 3 year old what shape they have, and your 4 year old the number. It is quickly and easily changed to fit every age.
