As a learning tool for my first grade I have developed activities to use in my classroom that include group work, singing, dancing and physical activities. One of the activities is sitting in a round circle singing a song while going around the circle saying everyone's name for attendance. This activity is great for the students to interact with each other while singing and getting ready for the day. The second activity that I have in mind is working with a partner while using counting abilities, the activity requires one partner, while singing, and standing facing each other the students count steps to the left and right. The circle moves 7 steps to the left, 7 to the right then your original partner you do one circle around. The process repeats, and the partners will vary. This is a great game for the students because it reviews counting and its fun. Another great activity to do in the classroom is having a group of kids work together to create the number that is stated by the teacher, the students have to form the number with their bodies.
