Cait Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 My preschoolers loved Tatty Bumpkin. Have a look and see if there's a franchise near you. Once she had come fortnightly for a year, we were confident to 'go it alone'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo43 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 These are the games our children love to play Whats the time Mr Wolf, great for maths too. Duck, duck goose Musical statues Balancing bean bags. Children take turns to decide on which part of their body to balance them whilst walking around. Parachute songs and games Traffic lights Bean game Runner bean, Broad bean (stretch wide) French bean (Bonjour) Dough disco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Ours like much the same as Jo43's, plus I have Sticky Kids CD's downloaded so I can make up different routines from playlists. We also do Persil Funfit from many many years ago! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Similar to both Jo and Panders + ours love an 'obstacle course' that we make up with various bits of apparatus - they can join in the planning and setting up too :1b Races, moving in various ways i.e. hopping, skipping (that's a sight to behold), crawling, big steps, fairy steps....... We use our hoops for all sorts of fun activities....... We dance to lots and lots of different music...... We love a 'marching band'........ Oooh and our 'French beans' don't say "bonjour" they say "ooh la-la"! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panders Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 At Christmas - am I still allowed to say that, or is it too early, too late??? We played musical hoops, when the music stopped I called out a part of the body which they had to put into the hoop - we also kept taking hoops away until they all had to try and cram into one hoop at the end.

Mouseketeer Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 All the above, tag rugby and team ball games are a favourite, as well as catching throwing to each other we use those coloured ball pit ones, (outside works best) throw them far and wide, put in colour teams and the first ones with all theirs back in a bucket/bowl/hoop wins, you can have a few able children as your 'colour police' and they have to run around and throw any wrong colours back out. We've never had an American bean sunnyday, our Jelly beans wobble and baked beans dramatically wipe their foreheads and fan themselves :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 fm - you forgot the runner beans - run on the spot :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 no no no Finleysmaid beans on toast you need to lay on the floor on your back "spreadeagle! Butter beans you "ice skate". Frozen beans stand like a statue, and baked beans sun themselves, however, I like mousie's idea of fanning themselves and mopping their brow I think we need a definitive FSF List. Suggestions in please and I will compile one. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
