Freebie Friday: FEED The Old Lady Who Swallowed the Clover

March 9, 2012 by Katie Filed Under: Books and Literacy Activities, Play, Therapy Ideas and Activities 14 Comments

This week I provided a bonus freebie: A barrier game based on the book There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Clover (check out the post HERE). Today I have another activity to go with this book! Feed the Old Lady!

Feed Clover Collage

You glue the Old Lady’s head (after cutting out a hole in her mouth) onto an empty tissue box. You then can have your children/students “feed” the old lady the items in the story as you read!

This would be great for a circle time or small group, or even just 1:1. This can help target vocabulary, turn taking, and is just FUN! . Clip Art was purchased from Scrappin Doodles.

Grab your own copy HERE. Want more? You are in LUCK! Check back tomorrow because I have one last activity to go along with this book!

Cheers, Happy FRIDAY!!!

    This is awesome, as always! I have been wanting to try to find these books for awhile but kept forgetting. I think you gave me the extra nudge because Boogie would think this is so fun! Pinned it! Thanks for sharing!

      Sierra I use all these books in my therapy sessions as well as at home…I haven’t met a kid who doesn’t giggle as I read all the silly things the old lady swallows! ENJOY!

    Hi Katie, I thank you so very much. I hope you take a minute to think about all the children you help- and you never met them! As a teacher, you motivate me!
    Thank you

    Dear Katie,

    YOU ARE AMAZING! I LOVE THE “OLD LADY” FREEBIES!!!!
    What do you suggest for a student whose parents speak with a haevy foreign accent? Both his verbal vocabulary and comprehension skills are VERY WEAK. Not eligible for ESL according to state
