Learning Goals: Literacy, Emergent Reading, Numeracy, Counting, Mutually-Directed Play

    • Prepare cue cards for the students with hints about the location of the missing items (ie. Dinosaurs).
    • Hide the items in these locations to set up the play.
    • Initiate the play by prompting students to read the cue cards, support their team work, and ask guiding questions to help them find the missing items.
