Loop-Around is a simple game that can be played with the students when there an extra fifteen (15) minutes to spare on certain days.  Not enough time for a lesson, but enough time for valuable learning.

One set of cards meets the Kindergarten math standards of number sense:

1.0 Students understand the relationship between numbers and quantities (i.e., that a set of objects has the same number of objects in different situations regardless of its position or arrangement):

1.2 Count, recognize, represent, name, and order a number of objects.

The second set meets the Kindergarten following language arts standards:

1.0 Word Analysis, Fluency, and Systematic Vocabulary Development - Students know about letters, words, and sounds. They apply this knowledge to read simple sentences.

1.3 Understand that printed materials provide information.

Directions to play the game:

There are two set of 20 cards.  Both sets are in Spanish.  One is for math, the other for language arts, playing with letter concepts.
I suggest playing the math one first.  The cards need to be printed out, cut out and laminated, in order to have them for future use.  The upside ? needs to be added to make the Spanish cards gramatically correct.

Each student will have one card, though it might be best the first time through to work with a buddy.  The cards need to be dealt out to the class, so that everyone has at least one.  Then choose one student (usually someone who is sitting quietly) to start the game by reading their card.  For example, "Yo veo 7.  ?Quien tiend 4?"  Then the person with the number 4 will read their card.  This will continue until the game loops around to the first person's card.

The same rules apply to the language arts version of the game.  They are related to the zoophonics for the Spanish alphabet.  So C = cavra, even though it's a picture of what can also be called a chivo and would then go to Ch instead.

The whole fun of loop-around is that they never know who comes next and that it ends when it gets back to the first person.  Good luck!
