CREATIVE TEACHING WITH WHAT'S IN MY HOUSE?
Goal: Teach students the function of objects in our homes
Learn a teaching stratagy that gets your child/student to do this in real life
 
DIRECTIONS 
This game is so much fun.  We like to think of it as "Find the Treasure."  It's perfect for early learners who like to move around a lot.  The teacher shows the student the top card and asks what it is and where we find it.  The student replies and the teacher asks the student to show her.  They run to the place where the child points to the object.  If the student can tell the teacher what the object is for,  he/she gets to peek under it and take the prize that's there.  Repeat with the other cards.

PREPARATION
Use the What's in my House? Pack of cards which comes with 40 photo cards.  At the back of each card are the functions of that item.  Pick the cards you want to work on for that lesson.  Then make sure you put a prize underneath it or on top of it etc.  Some people like to use small edibles such as m&m's or cheerios in which they put one or two in a small ziplock. 

WHAT YOU NEED:
1.  What's in my house? pack of cards
2.  A fun attitude

EXAMPLE OF A GAME
The teacher calls the student to the table and shows the top card.  
Teacher: What's this?
Student: A dresser
Teacher: Show me your dresser
They run to the bedroom and the student points to the dresser.
Teacher:  What do you do with a dresser?
Student: You keep your clothes in it.
Teacher: Very good!  Open it up.
The student opens it and finds his ziplock with an m&m inside.  Now they move onto the next card.
