Hey y'all! Happy Summer! My summer is quickly fading as I head back to work on the 17th - ack! Can't believe it's almost over. I wanted to share with you a quick and SUPER FUN activity that we did back in April when we studied contractions with our phonics program.
Contraction Surgery!!
Although I like Contractionectomy better because it sounds more official - haha!
Throughout the post, you may find Amazon Affiliate links, which means Amazon tosses a few nickels my way if you purchase something through that link, at no extra cost to you, that help keep my corner of cyber-space running!
To make things a little more realistic for my kiddos, I got them shower caps and masks from Dollar Tree - cost maybe $10. I picked up band-aids while I was there. And I did bad math and didn't correctly calculate how many I would need - note to self for next year!
I opted to not do gloves - I knew adult gloves wouldn't fit them and that would make all the cutting and gluing way harder for them. Saved myself a few bucks and a lot of sanity by opting for no gloves!
We put on a heartbeat monitor sound effect on the board and off into the surgery the kiddos went. They were SO focused...to start with! They did a great job, they really did, but their excitement got the best of them after a little while and they got a little loud - but they were learning - that's for sure!
Not to bore you with too much chatter - here are pictures!
I picked up this doctor coat on Amazon - added a little heat transfer vinyl and BAM! I'm the chief surgeon!
And a video of them in action! We all called each other doctors - so they even got in on calling each other Dr. {last name} - it was so fun!
Now - where did I get my awesome contraction surgery set - well TPT of course! I didn't make my own because this one was too good not to buy! Munchkins Inc did an awesome job with making this activity - it was perfect for my 2nds! Copied into booklets for them and they were set!
Happy Thursday y'all! What fun things have you got planned for the rest of your summer?
it is quite nice to see you put the right amount of effort and mind to mone up with amazing things for the kiddos to stay interested and invested into boring work like homework
