Have students come to the carpet and spread out in the open area of the room. For a warm-up today, we'll follow along with this video and move to the music.
Game: “Doggie, Doggie”
-
-
-
-
Students sit in a circle. One student is picked to be the doggie in the center of the circle. They close their eyes while another student holds the bone. I forgot to set the bone out, but a dry erase marker works just fine. The class will sing
-
“Doggie, Doggie where’s your bone? Someone took it from my home. Who took the bone?” (see video link below)
-
-
Then, you’ll tell the doggie to sing to three kids who they think took their bone. [“John did you take my bone?” And then either “Yes, I did” or “No, I didn’t”] After two incorrect guesses, you give the dog a hint [“you’re on the right track, it was a girl who took your bone” or something similar] Remind the class that only you get to give hints! Play as long as you like.

Here's a video of me singing since they might need help with the song.:

You probably won't get through all of this, and that's ok.
