I loved this moment! The students are using social skills in this shopping game as well as using emerging literacy and numeracy skills.  

First we made clapping patterns. I clapped and they joined in or continued the clapping pattern. Then we made patterns with ourselves, recognizing that we can choose the attribute for the pattern. For example; boy, girl, boy, girl or short pants, long pants, short pants, long pants. Last students are asked to decide if the pieces made a pattern or not and then created patterns with the penguins.
