After reading Shoe La La by Karen Beaumont, show pictures of different types of shoes and introduce new vocabulary words, such as sandal, pump, wedge, loafer and sneaker. After discussing the new words, play a graphing game. Pass out pictures of the different types of shoes making sure each child has two to three different types. Call out a shoe type and have the children with that picture place them on a graph made with shoe box lids taped together into a grid. You can also use this to graph real shoes by type or color. This could be done in small group.
