Game: Doggie, Doggie:
-
Students sit in a circle. One student is picked to be the doggie in the center of the circle. They’ll close their eyes. You’ll then pick one student to hold the bone - ours is broken here so just use a whiteboard marker. Then, tell the class to hide their hands. The class will sing “Doggie, Doggie where’s your bone?” The dog will sing “Someone took it from my home.” Then the class sings “Who took the bone?” 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, the person who took your bone has black shoes on” or something similar] Remind the class that only you get to give hints!
