Make a graph of each child's favorite ice cream flavors! Choose several popular ice cream flavors (such as vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry) for children to choose from. Write the flavor names down the side of a large piece of poster paper. Have the children write their name on a small card and place it next to their favorite ice cream flavor on the chart. For each child’s name, place an ice cream cone above it. When all the children have voted, count how many children have chosen each flavor. The result will be a colorful picture graph. This really helps children to visualize how many children in the class like each flavor. Ask them simple questions about the graph such as: "Which flavor is liked the most?" "The least?" "Which flavor is most popular with the boys?" "With the girls?

We are going to make ice cream in a bag today. It is a delicious and fun way to bring the lesson of ice cream alive for the children.
Here a link to these directions if you'd rather print them out and follow along with me in my video: In a small sandwich bag help your child pour half a 1/2 cup whole milk into the sandwich bag. Next, put 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla into a sandwich bag. Seal this bag and put it to the side. Fill the large bag about halfway with ice and then add 6 tablespoons of rock salt. Now, put your small sandwich bag with all your ingredients into the large bag with the ice and rock salt. Let your children make ice cream by shaking the bag (It usually take between 5 to 10 minutes to make the ice cream.) Once, the ice cream is made you and the children can enjoy this tasty treat!
Music and Movement: Ice Cream (to the tune of Skip To My Lou)
Salt melts the ice so that it won't freeze Salt melts the ice so that it won't freeze Salt melts the ice so that it won't freeze But it stays super cold
The super cold helps the milk freeze up

Freeze up really slow
Slow enough that the air gets trapped
