Unique Y Words for Preschool Share Time: Help Needed!"

[AnnieBee]

OK Peeps, I need your help! My DD has to take in something that begins with the letter Y for sharing time at pre-school today. Do any of you have suggestions (that won't have been chosen by every other kid)? I normally come up with some creative ideas, but Y has me stumped.

This is what I have so far...

Yo-yo - don't have one
Yarn - possible
Yoghurt - possible but messy
Yolk - ditto
Yak - don't have one
Yeti - ditto
Yacht - ditto

And now I have the Norah Jones song (Sesame Street version) "Don't know why Y didn't come" stuck in my head...

Aaarrggghhh!

What about a "yellow" bus? I am drawing a blank too.

Yankee Candle

I love this answer! Yardstick?

 

[AnnieBee]

Hmmm, not sure if we have a yard-stick. DD's friend is bringing yeast, otherwise that would be a great one.

So far the most possible are yogurt, yolk and year-book.

And a reminder, they have to be objects that a 4 yr old can take into school!

Any more ideas folks?

yams - if you have a can in the pantry.

Yellow Legos
Yellow Crayons

 

[Kitchen Diva]

Yams!
A YARD of fabric
or, she could just bring her youthful self in and yoddle for everyone !

 

[chefann]

Yoo-hoo beverage
Yuck (take in something from the back of the fridge)
Yum (a dessert or treat)

 

[AnnieBee]

You guys are so funny... Thanks for all of the ideas!

I wish I did have some yams... Maybe I have an old yucky sweet potato in the back of my fridge that would do!! I probably have lots of yuck and yums, LOL! Ann, I've never heard of a yoo-hoo?!

I have a feeling that alot of kids will end up bringing yellow things...

Any more ideas? I need something by noon! I'm still looking at a yolk or yogurt right now.

check out this site Words Starting With 'Y'
every y word imaginable is there.

Annie, Yoo-hoo is a chocolate drink, popular in some areas of the country. A convenience store would have it with the refrigerated soft drinks and individual milk containers.

 

[chefann]

ooh- year is a good one! Take in a calendar.

 

[stacywhitlow]

yin & yang
yodeler
yeoman
yield sign
yeast

 

[AnnieBee]

I'd love to go get a yield sign!! Or a Yeoman!! (Anyone bring one back from London? Leggy??).

I kind of the like the year/calendar idea. My parents gave us one for Christmas with family pictures in it, which would be cute .

Thanks again for all of the ideas, time to get an early lunch before we head off to school.

See... we had V last week and that was tricky. The kids are allowed to take in books that start with the letter though so she took in The Very Busy Spider. Are books that start with Y allowed? Not that I have any on the top of my head but it might be good to take a look in the bookcase. Yuck stickers (those green faced poison alert stickers)
Yellow anything... ooh, yellow cake that could be part of snack?
Something from Yale University?
yarn is always good and easy

more Y words there...
Could she learn to sing the Yankee Doodle song?
Have a yew tree? Could take a branch of that if you do.

 

[jrstephens]

So, what did you take?

 

[MissChef]

ooh- year is a good one! Take in a calendar.

Leave it to you to mention this! This is what I wanted to say!! Yearly Calendar... is yearly a word?

 

[chefann]

Sure is.

 

[AnnieBee]

And the winner is...

... the calendar! Thanks Ann (and Cathy too!). I was actually impressed with Abbie, as I suggested year to her as a Y word (she had been pushing for yak!), and asked how she could take a year to school. Straight away she sais, "a calendar!". Not bad for only 4 yrs. I'm such the proud mommy

Yukon -- help her google some info about the Yukon & print it. Maybe some pictures. It can be a Lang Arts / Social Studies example of the letter Y
