IDENTIFICATION OF FLOWERS 



HERE, too, as well as in identifying birds, the 

 games may be used in the first grade with profit 

 and pleasure, e.g. : 



1. " Flower Game" in " Kindergarten Chimes," 

 Kate Douglas Wiggin, p. 115. 



2. " Smelling," in the same book, p. 107. 



3. " Guessing Game," p. 108 in the same book, 

 may be altered in meaning a little so as to become 

 a flower or a leaf game. Each child has a flower 

 pinned upon his breast, and takes the name of the 

 flower he wears; so the "who" in the third line 

 refers to daisy fleabane, or oak, perhaps. 



4. In "Touching," a game in the same book, 

 which reads in the second line, "Now take the 

 thing we give you," substitute flower. 



[For similar games see "Songs for Little Children," 

 II, Eleanor Smith, and "Merry Songs and Games," 

 Hubbard.]
