Description
This 13-page teaching guide helps educators set up an engaging pretend-play ice cream shop with paper cones, colored scoops, and order cards. Children practice matching colors, counting scoops one-to-one, listening to and following short orders, and inventing imaginative flavors. Use the suggested supported one-scoop orders to introduce the activity, then extend play with multi-scoop requests and accessible ways for every child to respond. An assessment checklist helps you note children’s observed skills during play.
