How to Play

Where's the Penguin? is a game for centers or whole group instruction where a penguin is hidden behind a snowball. A poem is chanted where the student(s) must say the letter they think the penguin is behind. Once guessed, the letter is removed. If the penguin is behind the snowball, then the penguin must be hidden again to play further. If the penguin is not behind the snowball, then the poem is chanted again with a new letter. This game has letters in both capital and lowercase forms.
