K is for {Chocolate} Kisses!

• Read “The Biggest Kiss” by Joanna Walsh & Judi Abbott
  1. A very cute story about lots of different kisses!
  2. I love the illustrations.

 

• Preschool Journal K Page
  1. Practice writing Kk and “Kiss”
  2. Put kiss stickers all over the page
  3. Or put on red lipstick and kiss the page!

  

• Memory Match Kiss Game … A fun twist on one of our favorite games. Inspiration here.
• Use dot stickers to put matching labels on the bottom of several Hershey’s kisses. We did matching pairs of all the letters A-K.
• Use the kisses to play a game of memory match

• Kiss Number Line … a simple introduction to adding and subtracting using a number line. Original idea found here
  • Have the kids write 1-10 on blank kisses
  • Glue in order on a long strip of paper.
  • Give simple addition or subtraction problems. Use chocolate kisses to move up and down the number line.

• Chocolate Kiss Drawings … a fun idea we found here
  • Use a sturdy white paper plate. I found that a plain paper plate worked much better than the glossy finish.
  • Use the tip of a Hershey’s kiss to draw a chocolatey picture.

• Christmas Kiss ABC Game
  • Print out the Christmas tree game here.
  • You’ll need a big bowl of Hershey’s kisses (at least 26 for each preschooler)
  • Use a set of A-Z letter tiles, or magnet letters or letter cards.
  • Have the kids choose a letter and say it’s name.
  • Cover the matching letter on their Christmas tree with a kiss.
  • Continue until all the letters are covered and you have a glimmering, chocolately Christmas tree!

• Christmas Kiss Countdown … a tradition around here
  • Use the same Christmas tree game and kisses from above.
  • Hot glue the kisses to the tree. I put a dot of hot glue in each circle and the kids carefully put a chocolate kiss on the glue.
  • Hang up your Christmas countdown! My kids get to choose one kiss each day after their morning jobs are done.
  • See another version we’ve done in the past here.
