    Extending activities (2)
    1. The students will participate in a game called The Hungry Caterpillar. (A game of my
    own invention.) The teacher will split the students into groups of four or five and
    provide each student with a toilet paper roll that has a caterpillar painted on it and a slit
    cut out for its mouth. (If there are too many students or if other students need
    assistance, students may play this game in pairs.) The teacher will give each group a
    spinner, with a picture of an apple, a pear, a plum, a strawberry, and an orange. The
    teacher will also provide each group with a ten-sided die. Every turn, the student has to
    spin to find out what fruit they need and roll the die to find out how many. There will be
    colored beads to represent each fruit. When it is a students turn they need to spin, roll,
    and feed their caterpillar. The first one to fill their caterpillar wins.

    2. To close the lesson, the teacher will have assign each student a number by providing
    them with a blank sheet of paper with just a number in the top corner. The teacher will
    ask that the student draw that number of their favorite food. For example, if a student
    likes cookies and is assigned the number 4, they will draw 4 cookies.
