Who Stole the Cookie Easy Name Game

Want an easy name game for your kids?

Of course you do!

You want a name game that's easy, no-prep, and FUN--so your kids are begging to play it over and over, day after day.

You want to click it open on your SMARTboard, write a child's name, have the class sound it out together (with you giving hints)...

Then have one child read the name aloud.

The class will say the classic nursery rhyme, Who Stole the Cookie from the Cookie Jar.

Then you'll erase the name, and write another.

After a few go-rounds, you'll ask a high-order question from the list included, and kids will turn and talk in groups of six.  Afterwards, you can have a whole-class discussion.

Hmmm...

•  Why might you steal a cookie?
•  What is the best cookie you could imagine eating?

Kids can also write about their favorite cookie on the adorable printable sheet--with 2 or 12 writing lines.

Who Stole the Cookie from the Cookie Jar NAME GAME has endless practical uses:

• Learn class names
• Class conversations
• Small group work
• Choral speaking
• Response to literature
• Phonics lesson
• Balanced Literacy activities
• Brain Break at any time of the day
• A fun game with prizes 

The best bonus--at the bottom of the cookie jar--is for you.

Next time you have to give out student classwork--for kids to take home or stuff into work folders--you can just sit back and relax as your bright kids easily read their classmates' names and run around the room placing papers on the right table.  

Delegate, delegate, delegate!  ...so you won't wonder who stole the time from your day!  

We can all agree that time is better than cookies, right?
