How to Play

Where's the Acorn? is a game for centers or whole group instruction where an acorn is hidden behind a fall leaf. A poem is chanted where the student(s) must say the letter they think the acorn is behind. Once guessed, the letter is removed. If the acorn is behind the fall leaf, then the acorn must be hidden again to play further. If the acorn is not behind the fall leaf, then the poem is chanted again and a new letter is guessed. This game has letters in both capital and lowercase forms.
