- Decorating Your Pine Cone: Use glitter glue, mini colored pom-poms, and paint to decorate your pine cones.
- Paper Bag Penguin: Create your own penguin by gluing the body parts and accessories to the front of the paper bag. Trace your hands to make the penguin's feet.

- Penguin Walk: Wind up the penguin toy and place it on one of the literacy boards. Let the penguin walk around the board until it stops on a square. Name the letter and letter sound on the square that the penguin lands on.
- Penguin's Journey: Players take turns rolling the die and moving their penguins along the snowy path, collecting fish along the way. Game continues until all the penguins reach the forest.

Players continue taking turns rolling the die (dice) and stamping the sheets until one player stamps 5 penguins in a row.
