Clifford's Dog Bone Prints
Have the children do stamping pictures with large dog bones.
Give each child a large piece of paper and red paint and ask them to
"paint" Clifford on the paper (the more it looks like a big red blob, the
better). After it has dried, glue on 2 large wiggly eyes and add a mouth
and nose with a black marker.

felt for the body and ears, and black felt for the nose and paw pads. See

red circle for his face. Use the children's red handprints to make his ears
(hands upside down). Then add eyes, nose and a mouth.
Clifford, Clifford Who Has Your Bone
Played the same as 'doggy, doggy, who has your bone. One child is picked to be Clifford and goes in the middle of the
circle, lays down, and covers his/her eyes. A bone (cut out felt one works well) is given to one child to hide behind his/her back.
All children hide their hands behind their backs and sing the
"Clifford, Clifford who has your bone,
Someone stole it from your home,
Guess who, maybe you,
Maybe the monkey from the zoo.
Wake up Clifford, find your bone.
If you find it, take it home!
Clifford has 3 guesses (or less depending on how many children you have playing) to find his bone. Clifford must move
around the circle and BARK at the child he thinks is hiding the bone. Child then shows Clifford his/her hands. If no bone, then
Clifford continues - if he finds it, another child is chosen to be Clifford.
