My Backpack

What do you have in your backpack? Well, my 5 year olds have a pencil, an eraser, a ruler, glue, crayons, and scissors. I made these paper backpacks and drew the school material for them but depending on how much time you have, the students can draw the objects themselves, which of course would be much better. After a class and a song about these classroom objects, they colored and cut out the school material. Next class, they’re going to use I have to tell me about what they have in their backpacks. We are also going to have a race with the backpacks lined up in front of the classroom. I’ll have one student say: I have (a pencil) in my backpack. The first student to run to their backpack and get the correct object, wins! There are lots of ways we can use their work to practice vocabulary and structures. What would you do?
