Green Eggs and Ham- Read.Explore.Learn

Dr. Seuss Activity- Green Eggs and Ham Tic Tac Toe File Folder Game and Snack

This year I decided to focus on the book Green Eggs and Ham for Dr. Seuss’ Birthday. I love the rhymes and the message of this book. No matter what Sam says about trying new foods he ends up eating this new food combination. He not only tries it but he likes it.

Thankfully JDaniel loves to try new things! Well, most of the time he likes to try new things.

What did we do to explore this Green Eggs and Ham?

Green Eggs and a Fancy Pancake

 

Dr. Seuss Activity- Green Eggs and Ham Tic Tac Toe File Folder Game and Snack

I made JDaniel a special hat shaped pancake and placed bacon and whipped cream on top of it.  He loved it. The pancake tasted like a birthday cake I was told. I think it was the vanilla flavoring that I added to the pancake batter that made it taste that way. It also may have been the dash of sugar that I added to the pancake mix.

I also made him a small cup of green scrambled eggs. He turned his nose up to them and won’t even try them. That really surprised me. He is usually into scrambled eggs. I made a similar lunch for my husband. (He was home dealing with a heating issue on the day I made them.) He ate everything and went back for more eggs.

JDaniel loves to play tic tac toe on the iPad so, I made him a Green Eggs and Ham versions of the game. I guess it should be called Green Eggs and Bacon. Bacon strips made a better  “x” than ham slices would so, I decided to make bacon.

He has gotten really good at the game by playing it on the game iPag application  Bugs and Buttons. I was the green eggs when we played and I don’t think I won once. Maybe it was because I left JDaniel to go first.  Maybe it is because he went to the center space every time.

  1. The tic tac toe with the bacon and eggs is adorable. My oldest LOVES this book, LOVES! We made green eggs too, although I used pureed spinach and let him mix it into the eggs. I think getting him involved made him less prone to snub it.
