Shaking Your Head With The Alphabet
Shaking your Head With The Alphabet
By Mrs. Alphabet
Objective: Children will demonstrate how to say yes or no by shaking their head to
answer alphabet questions.
Materials: A chart tablet, board, or overhead projector, and a marker.
Procedure: Print random uppercase letters on the chart. Ask yes or no questions. For
example is there a B on the chart? Children answer by shaking their heads yes or no.
Variations: Use lowercase letters, digraphs, clusters, rhyming words, names, etc. I like
this activity because the whole group is actively involved.
Shaking Your Head With The Alphabet
This is how to play
The answer you cannot say
Only using your head
Not a sound can be said.
When the answer yes shows
Up and down your head goes (model to children this action)
When the answer no is said
Side to side goes your head.(model to children this action)
Now when the teacher asks the question to you
Shake your head up and down or side to side that's new.
Remember not a word can be said
You can only use your head.
