Guest Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 we do row row row the boat with the children sitting in 2's facing each other, plus pat-a-cake, we also do sticky kids with them, they love it. We play musical mats, 3 large mats in the hall, music playing, when music stops have to sit on a mat.... Mark making, we paper the wall and give children chalk, pens, paint etc... they love this very popular... Minds gone blank at the moment, will come back later after tea and chocolate... been a long day.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlettangel Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 The little book of mark making by Featherstone has loads of ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 we have a box with loads of different items in for sound and movement. The box is covered with pictures of whats in the box. There are ribbons on sticks, cheerleader pompoms, tambourine's, drums, Pictures of various nursery rhymes,books, well you get the general idea. I think that giving the children the tools they will find what they want to do with them. Also they can take the lead and you can act on what they are doing with the items.. Just an idea Take care Kat -x- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Have you tried putting together a CD of different sorts of music, eg classical, folk, ethnic, etc, and letting them move creatively to it? Bhangra is a great one to start with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
