Guest heleng Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 We have a cave in our role play area with a giant spider's web in (the children were catching spiders all last week). I would like to extend their play and have been using We're going on a bear hunt. Can anyone else think of any stories with caves in them please?
Guest Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Did some great role playing drama with the story of Robert the Bruce once.
Guest Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Going on a bear hunt u tube Michael Rosen is brill Watch it here Maybe you could make up a line about getting past spiders webs - under, over, have to go through YUK Peggy
Posy Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Can't You Sleep Litttle Bear? There's several stories in this series about Big Bear and Little Bear.can't remember author And we've got the newish story by Michael Rosen which I think is a sort of follow on from Bear Hunt it's got the same sort of rhythm althugh personally i was a bit disapointed by, they (last year's children)loved it Posy

Guest Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 I think Can't You sleep little bear would be perfect for your cave........... You could get lots of KUW stuff in there with big torches, little torches, lamps etc............ leading on to them maming their own lamps! Or bringing lights in from home........
Guest Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Theres a story about Jesus' familys flight to Egypt at the time when Herod ordered the killing of all the boys under a year. Apparently the family sheltered in a cave one night and the spiders wove curtain to keep them warm across the cave mouth. When the soldiers came by the didn#t bother to seach the cave because it was clear no one had gone in because it was covered by spiders webs. Al
Inge Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 The bear in a cave.. Michael Rosen is a follow up to bear hunt.. suggest you get one with a CD as at first reading it really is rather odd.. but if you read it as the expression marks say you should it really does make sense and our children love it.

korkycat Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Focus have wonderful little LED dynamo torches for £1.99 - piggy torch in pink and blue(unfortunately!). They are just right for little hands and we are having a cave next month so I've bought 2. korkycat
Guest Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 The octopus in Rainbow Fish does live in a cave. The Brave Little Bear Story (sorry can't remember the author) uses the cave it also has great PSED links for making friends and helping each other.
