Instructional Ideas

  • Celebrate Dr. Seuss Day by asking kids to wiggle their noses, spell Lorax, and more
  • Use these silly movements as brain breaks during the day

Classroom Considerations

  • See the materials for matching activities that go with Dr. Seuss's collection of books as well as another physical activity to try out
  • Kids will need to have read at least The Cat in the Hat for this activity; they'll need to have read others to complete all of the additional materials

Pros

  • All the materials are paired with full-color images from the books
  • Provides plenty of ways for kids to move around, and relates the story to what they are doing

Cons

  • None
