Play a game of hide & seek AND practise a simple verse from my rhyming picture book 'Brown Owl and the Bee Hive'.Step 1) Colour, cut and stick the bees onto pegs.N.B. If the children want to keep their own pegs after the game, write their names on them too. If you are creating a game for the class to use regularly, this is not necessary.Step 2) Go outside and hide the bees by pegging them onto plants, grass, trees or anything you can find!Remember to count the pegs first AND define which area of the garden you are playing in, or your could end up looking for the bees for hours!!!Step 3) Everyone says the verse together:Bees are buzzing in the grass, bees are buzzing in the air,Bees are buzzing here, there and everywhere!The children then run off and look for the bees.My children like to peg them onto their clothing so that their hands are free for looking.Step 4) Once all the bees have been found, take it in turns to hide them and play again!Extension: Ask the children where they found the bees! In the grass / in the flowers / in the trees etc.    Have fun reading and rhyming with Brown Owl and the Bee Hive!www.readandrhyme.at

Tongue twisters are a great way to practise sounds and pronuciation in a fun and relaxed manner.Children will love to try out this Busy Lizzy tongue twister and take home their own coloured version. I have also included a pre-coloured version to print and display in the classroom.Busy Lizzy is a character in the rhyming picture book 'Brown Owl and the Bee Hive', written by myself, Rachel Schmidlechner and illustrated by Nadja Grace Bodner.Once the children get the hang of the tongue twister, why not have a competition to see who can say it the fastest without getting their tongue in a twist! Or see who can say it the most times in one minute!Have fun reading and rhyming with Brown Owl!

Niveau scolaire: Cycle 2

This BINGO game is a great way to practise and consolidate vocabulary from my rhyming picture book 'Brown Owl and the Bee Hive'.It can be played as a class or in small groups with a quizmaster.I have included a set of picture/word cards for the quizmaster to draw at random. If you print two sets, they double up as a game of pairs too.If someone gets three pictures in a row, they shout LINE!If they get all nine pictures, they shout BINGO!I like to embed each word in a sentence so that the children are exposed to as much language as possible. E.g. I can see lots of flowers. Bees are buzzing in the grass. Claire Bear is looking after the bees. Look! It's a bee hive!TIP: Use phrases and sentences directly from the book.I hope you have fun teaching English with Brown Owl!For more info about my series of rhyming picture books please visit:www.readandrhyme.at
