chocisgood Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Hi everyone, Wishing you all a fab year! i would love some ideas for our ' getting to know your name' sessions during our first week.

Also need to know what tune the ditty uses cos I'm not too confident singing a made up one! ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buttercup Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 we play a game with a shaker. I usually start and sing xxxxx has the shaker the shaker the shaker xxxx has the shaker and passes it onto ? saying their name. younger children tend to pass it to the person next to them where as older children will pass across the circle. sorry cannot think what tune is not sure if we didnt make it up. sort of starts off like incy wincy spider. their are a few games in sounds and letters i think good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocisgood Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Thanks buttercup, will be brave and use this one today! We only have 15 in so if the singing is dreadful it won't be too noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Tried that willaby wallaby at lunch club today - they loved it. How about 'Peter rabbit has a fly upon his nose, peter rabbit has a fly upon his nose, peter rabbit has a fly upon his nose, and he swished and he swashed it and the fly flew away (point to next child sitting nicely etc) Joseph rabbit has a fly upon his nose etc.. then next child.. Tia rabbit has a fly upon her nose.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocisgood Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 Sounds like you had fun- but what's the tune?? I ended up with 'oh here we are together, together, together. oh, here we are together all sitting on the floor there's x and x and x and x oh here we are together all sitting on the floor. to the tune of 'did you ever see a lassie?'

Guest Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Lots of ball games are good, throwing or rolling and calling out the name of the person who has to catch. Gruffalo2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 we play passing a ted and telling him or name, then passing ted and telling him the person next them names' and hen we pass things like pas the smail/handshake/silly face. Then progress to saying someones name and passing the smelly face on to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
