25 Activities to Keep Childen on Their Toes
by Loyan Beausoleil and Leah Wells
This collection of time-tested favorites for use in your preschool classes emphasizes movement and exercise activities for children ages 2-6. Grouped in five categories, it includes 5 songs each for hello/goodbye, imaginative play, circles, transitions, and quieting down—25 in all.
- For Punchinello, one child stands in center of a circle. All sing the song.The child then chooses a movement & performs during the 2nd verse. Third time all do the movement. Then the child spins to a rhythmic chant to choose the next Punchinello.
- Indoor Playground invites the children to do the actions they might on a playground: swinging, merry-go-round, trampoline, seesaw, and going home.
The authors also share advice and guidance on ways to successfully implement these activities. Grades PreK-1
