Book Activities For Preschool

book activities for preschool
I need some help with a lesson?

I'm reading the foot book to a special ed preschool whose ages range from 2-5. It's for a class, and I need an activity to go with the book aftewards, and I'm focusing on opposites for the activity. But I can think of/find things that would work well in a normal preschool or with a lot of kids, but nothing that would work for them.
There are 5 in the class, and out of those 5, only 2 know their colors, some letters, and some numbers. The rest don't really know much. So none of them can read or write.
So I'm looking for any activity ideas on opposites that I could do with special ed, or could be easily adapted to special ed. Please help, I have to do this on Tuesday and I have no ideas.

What kind of special ed are we talking about? And don't under-estimate the ability of a special learner.
For opposites... try some kind of activity with placement words: up/down, in/out, on/off, etc. Here's a site with some opposite ideas: http://www.perpetualpreschool.com/preschool_themes/opposites/opposites_art.htm
And another: http://www.everythingpreschool.com/themes/opposites/index.htm

Also... with the foot book you could do some activities dealing with body parts. Work one-on-one and have them place stickers on the body part you name. Or have them decorate tracings of their feet. Or make art by having them walk across paper with painted feet and then put their handprints on it too.

Don't get so held up on the fact that they don't know their colors, letters, numbers, shapes... focus on what they do know and expand from there. Same with their abilities... focus on what they can do and adapt ideas to fit their needs.
