I is for Ice Cream!

A few weeks ago I did the Letter I in Preschool.

1. We counted ice cream scoops on the board.
2. We made homemade ice cream in a can-(this recipe uses pudding mix)- I mixed the ingredients then put one cup scoops into sandwich bags, inside a larger gallon sized bag, rather than a smaller can inside. We used a #10 can from our food storage. While we rolled it we sang this song:

The super cold helps the milk freeze up
The super cold helps the milk freeze up
The super cold helps the milk freeze up
Freeze up really slow
Slow enough that the air gets trapped
Slow enough that the air gets trapped
Slow enough that the air gets trapped
To make our fluffy ice cream



 

3. We learned the ice cream song during music time

Ice Cream Songs

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Tuesdays, Mondays, we all scream for sundaes,
Sis-boom-bah!
Boola-boola, sarsaparoolla,
If you got chocolate, we’ll take vanoola!


I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Frosts and malts that are peppered and salted,
Sis-boom-bah!
Oh, spumoni, oh, cartoni,
And confidentially, we’ll take baloney,


I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah!

4. We read Curious George Goes to the Ice Cream Shop during reading time.

5. More ideas for an ice or ice cream theme:

Make an igloo out of sugar cubes or marshmallows (use an upside down paper cup as a base to glue on)

Cut and past ice cream sundaes with glitter as decorations

Make pipe cleaner and clear beads into icicles or snowflakes

Have a pretend ice cream shop where kids purchase ice cream from each other for set prices. (Math and role play)

 

Hooray for Ice Cream!
