Lick & Listen

Did the title get your attention???

This is a great December activity for your listening center. All you need are Christmas books or music and candy canes. Students go to the listening center take a small candy cane and "lick and listen". Sometimes children just need to listen to a good story being read or their favorite songs playing. You can even have a Santa hat or Elf ears for them to wear as they lick and listen.

If you feel you MUST include something academic, you can have the students create a list of "Ll" words after listening to the story/music.

Hint: Have baby wipes available to clean hands after going to the center. And make sure to wipe down your listening station each day. Yes, the children and the headphones will get sticky!! It's okay!!
