I Got a Letter This Morning!

Everyone LOVES getting mail and that includes kids. That’s why when I saw this adorable mailbox at the dollar store, I had to get it. I immediately was reminded of a favorite American Folksong called “I Got a Letter”.

Check out the video below and find out how the activity works!

Now for the details…

Mailbox: I got my holiday mailbox at the dollar store. But, you can use any sort of mailbox or box for that matter to pass around the circle.

I got a letter this morning,

Oh yeah,

I got a letter this morning,

Oh yeah.

Movement Cards: I found the movement cards in PaperRainbowsCo Etsy store . They are well worth $1.50 as they would take me too long to make on Canva. Print, cut and laminate and you can use them for years to come!
