ACTIVITY OBJECTIVE: making new friends
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:
First, you take a bunch of children who don’t know each other, and direct their attention to a “pond” — a blue blanket spread on the floor with several “lily pads” on it. Toy frogs sit on the lily pads.
Then you tell the children the frogs are sleeping. It’s morning, and the frogs need our help to wake up! So you give the children simple musical instruments and ask them to sing a little wake-up song while they walk around the pond in time with the music.
The children have to agree to one song to play together or else the frogs won’t wake up.
