Lesson plan for 3rd grade crochet

Many specialty teachers do not know how to make a lesson plan.  Here is an example of a third grade crochet class.

Third Grade crocheting a soap bag  

OBJECTIVE
Students will: 

• ·         Learn to single  crochet
• ·         Learn to make a soap bag

MATERIALS

• ·         Handwork bag
• ·         Crochet hook
• ·         Cotton yarn
• ·         Scissors
• ·         Oatmeal soap

SET UP AND PREPARE
All handwork bags should be on chairs. 

DIRECTIONS

• ·         Say the crochet verse for the students

·         Under the bridge of two
Catch the fish and bring it through
Under the yarn for another one
Through the loops, and then you’re done!

• ·         Ask students to crochet chain of 15 stitches

• ·         Then they go back long the first row (this row is only under the bridge of 1)

• ·         At the end of the row they don’t turn around and go back, instead they crochet along the bottom of their work as if they were turning the corner of a race track (still crocheting under the bridge of 1)

• ·         At the end of that row, the verse is very important for Under the Bridge of Two

• ·         Students will continue to single crochet round and round like on a race track till their bag pulls up enough to hold a bar of oatmeal soap

• ·         Students can either crochet it closed or leave it open to exchange soap when done.

• ·         Crochet a chain for a loop to hang the soap bag
