Backwards Day Misc
6-12-00Read their favorite book (Green Eggs & Ham, etc.) backwards; starting with the last page first and so on. The children know the story so well, it'll crack 'em up to see/hear it in reverse!
6-8-00Eat your snack before the "healthy" stuff. Do your normal routine in a different order.
4-30-00On Backwards Day we: .call each other by our last name instead of our first. .sit on our chairs backwards .lay under a table and draw on paper that is taped under the table instead of it placed the top on the table. .go up the slide instead of going down. .ride the tricycles backwards. .say "Goodbye" when we come to school, say "Hello" when we leave .eat our dessert first at lunch. .sing songs/describe things or give instructions using "opposites". .count backwards.
Date: 3-17-00My co-teacher and I celebrate Backward Day with the following activities. We have our children wear their clothes "inside out." Many of them even come in with their shoes on the incorrect feet. In addition, we plan our day by going from "end to the beginning." Whatever we normally do at the end of the day, we complete first. We put our day in reverse order. It is a nice change from the routine. For a snack we make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. We put the jelly on first, then the peanut butter. We also walk down the hallway backwards.
