One Cow Moo Moo Milking and Counting Game!


In preparation for a visit to a dairy farm, I read David Bennett’s book, One Cow Moo Moo!  After the story, one of my students asked if we would be able to milk a cow on the fieldtrip.  Just in case we were going to have that exciting opportunity, we came to the consensus that we had better practice!!  I got to work right away and made a large paper cow and added a water filled opaque rubber glove for the udders!!  I also had a milk bucket filled with numbers 0 to 100.   During our Open Center time, small groups of students could visit the Milking Cow Center.  How to play, you ask?  Each student randomly pulls a number from the milk bucket and gets to milk the cow that many times.  He/she must count aloud correctly.  It is great practice counting aloud with a purpose and just darn fun to tug and squeeze those udders!!!
