Go for a walk with the dolls
Although the little hen has undergone a thrilling walk, she herself is unaware, which is the most interesting part of this picture book, although the children can not experience the adventure in person, they can come to a walk with their own toys.
In Rosie's Walk, although there is only one sentence, it contains a wealth of directional words, and children can review and understand the actual meaning of these words together while simulating a walk. How do you apply it? Dining tables, chairs, sofas, carpets... They can all be used as a place for dolls to walk, through the living room, around the refrigerator, over the toy box, through the kitchen, through the dining table, from under the dining chair and back to the "home".
What do you think? Is it not very simple, such a simple form of play can not only help children review the content of picture books, understand the meaning of words can also consume physical strength, a game after half an hour of children will sweat and then obediently sleep well.
