game added

All children sit in a circle
and take off one shoe. Children hide their eyes as the teacher hides
all the shoes. The children must find a shoe that DOES NOT belong to
them and bring it back to the circle. When all the shoes have been
found, teacher asks a child whose shoe he found. Child looks around
the circle to determine who is wearing a shoe that matches the one he
found. When he finds the owner, he returns the shoe, and that child
now must find the owner of the shoe she has found. This activity
leads to lots of conversation regarding sorting, matching.
