For example, find an apple for “A” or a book for “B”. Can you find something for every letter? Share your discoveries with your friends!
Doggy Dance Party: Remember how Phoebe loves to dance the YMCA? Let’s have a dance party! Choose your favorite song and dance like the dogs in the story. Can you dance like a Catahoula doing the hula or a Keeshond twirling a baton? Invite your friends to join and see who can come up with the silliest dance moves!
Draw Your Doggy Friend: Pick your favorite dog from the story and draw a picture of them doing something fun. Maybe it’s the Goldendoodle eating noodles or the Yorkiepoo making fondue. Use your imagination and add lots of colors. Once you’re done, share your artwork with your class and tell them why you chose that doggy friend!
