Box #1: Construction Worker: Each child stacks a block onto the building as they plan or recall.
Magic Wand (recall): When the teacher starts the music and waves the magic wand, each child will go to an area where they worked.
They must be in that area when the music stops. Each child will tell what they did in that area.
Box #2: Flashlight: Darken the room. The children use a flashlight to spotlight the center where they plan to work or did work.
Whole Group: Binoculars or spyglasses. Children look through binoculars (real or pretend) at an interest area theyd like to go to or
materials they would like to use at work time. Pretend binoculars or spyglasses can be made from cardboard tubes or paper cups with
the bottoms cut out.
