SINKING LILY PADS

We use frog beanbags or plastic frogs, however you can  print and laminate frog pictures for all the children to hold. You will also need some large lily pads (A4 size is fine) 

This activity requires the children to place a frog on a lily pad, however each lily pad will only fit a maximum number of 4 frogs before it sinks!

You will need: 6 lily pads for 24 children 

Show the children how to place a frog carefully (not throwing) on the lily pad . Work your way around the circle until all of the frogs have been safely placed. 

Talk to the children and ask them which lily pad is safe or which pad is now full. Have fun with numeracy, as you alter the task. Maybe each lily pad can fit one more? Or, there might be a spare lily pad.. How many frogs can we fit?

Moves and Moods

FALLING AUTUMN LEAVES

Watching the leaves fall, has a calming effect on the children. Ask the children to try and catch the leaves that fall close to them. When the leaves have finished falling, collect them from the ground and throw them in the air on the count of three. 

Autumn leaves are available from our Shop in assorted colours. Alternatively, you can cut leaves out of soft fabric.

  • The Leaves are falling, falling to the ground 
  • The leaves are twirling, twirling round and round 
  • They're floating peacefully 
  • Floating from the tree, 
  • Let's test your ability, 
  • To catch the leaves that you see! 
  • I caught 1 (clap) 
  • I caught 2 (clap, clap) 
  • I caught 3 (clap, clap, clap)  
  • I caught 4 (clap, clap, clap, clap)
