BUILDING DANCE
MUSIC - Colourful Tree House by Cheeky Monkey Club
Sing and dance along as Cheeky Monkey builds his colourful tree house. Follow the sounds and action of the different tools until the job is done!
Rhythm and Rhyme
EVERYBODY SAWING
Using hand actions and this old favourite tune, have the children suggesting different tools they will need when building the tree house.
Saw - Sawing action with flat hands
Hammer - Fists on top of each other
Screwdriver - Twist wrists
Paint Roller - Roll arms around
Sort and Solve
TOOL SORTING MAT
PROP - Assorted tools and sorting mat
It's so much fun find where things belong, and putting the tools away is great developing for hand eye coordination.
Use a plastic table cloth and trace the tools (or whatever you are wanting to sort) all over it. Make sure, they are in an organised order, to allow the children to see where everything is.
Hand out the tools one at a time and let them get to work!
Take a look at our Cheeky Snippet to see how well it works.

TIME TO BUILD
PROPS - Rubber tiles
Work together as a team and get building! See if the children to create a pattern using rubber floor tiles. This is very rewarding and fun to dance on when it's finished.
