Who took the Gold Activity: Students will discriminate what has been taken and use prediction
skills on deciding who has the pot of gold. Sit students in a circle and have
the students close their eyes. Choose one student to take and hide the pot of
gold behind their back.
Say the chant:
Teacher, teacher who
took the gold? (all students)
__________ took the gold.
Who me? (student named)
Yes, you. (all students)
Couldn’t be! (student named)
Then who. (all students)
Was it ________ who took
the gold? (the student accused of taking
the gold the first time names another student.)
Keep repeating until the
students discover who took the gold.
