Let’s get this New Year started with a new video and song download. If you go to my website (drjean.org) today you can see a free new video, and you can download my “Jump Rope Rally” song. Jump roping is a fantastic form of exercise and can be done in a small space. Jump ropes are optional…just jump and pretend you have a rope in your hands. Oral language, counting, and phonological awareness are peripheral benefits of “Jump Rope Rally.” You can also jump as you say the alphabet, the months of the year, the days of the week, read the word wall…Whew!
You’ll find lots indoor games on my website, as well as five minute flash card games to reinforce skills. You know, all you have to do is call something a “game” and your students will want to play. These games support ACTIVE LEARNING because they are multi-sensory and engaging. They also provide PURPOSEFUL PRACTICE FOR AUTOMATICITY (a.k.a. repetition for skill mastery). Most of the games are open-ended so all you have to do is insert your specific standards and skills in them and you’re ready to play and learn!
I'm getting ready to JUMP into a new workshop season. I'm so thankful I still have a job that I LOVE!
