Do you remember the joy of going to the convenient store down
the street with pennies in your pocket to buy a piece of bubblegum? Or putting
your coin in the big gumball machine and waiting for a gumball to roll down
into your hands? Well, you can bring these fond memories to your students with
some great books, activities and games!
“Bubble gum, bubble gum
in a dish, how many pieces do you wish?” This was a fun jump rope game we used
to do that can easily be adapted to a counting/number game in the classroom.
Drawings of gumball machines are another activity that can be
adapted to a variety of skills you are working on in the classroom.
How about having your students draw a picture of themselves and
insert a pink balloon (or pink tissue paper) in the mouth as a bubble gum bubble!
You can talk about spheres and use the gumball as a type of
sphere you can chew.
Who knew there was so much to do using bubble gum as a
theme?!
