              Scarecrow Game Ideas 
               
              Five Plump Scarecrows 
              Invite 5 children to 
              stand in front of the class and pretend to be scarecrows.   
              Then have 5 additional students sit at the feet of each scarecrow 
              and pretend  
              to be crows.  Recite the poem below and encourage your  
              scarecrows and crows to move as directed in the poem. 
              Five plump 
              scarecrows stuffed with lots of hay 
              Standing in the cornfield ready for the day. 
              (Stand with arms stretched out at sides.) 
              When the gentle wind blows, 
              The five begin to sway, 
              (Gently sway from side to side) 
              Moving just enough to scare the crows away. 
              (Crows fly away, cawing) 
                
               
              
              On the Lookout for Crows 
              Gather some old flannel shirts.  Cut out a supply of crows 
              from black construction paper. 
  Using white chalk, write a different letter, number, or shape (or 
              anything you wish to reinforce) 
 onto the crow cutout.  Hang the crows around the room at children's 
              eye level.   
 Have each child pretend to be a scarecrow by wearing one of the old 
              flannel shirts.  
 Name a symbol or show a card with the symbol; then direct one of the 
 little scarecrows to find that crow and bring it to you.
