Jesus Loves You

Jun-18-2007 By Melissa

Hold up a mirror and have the children come up one at a time. As each child comes up and looks in the mirror, say, “this is (child’s name) and Jesus loves (child’s name) very much”.

This Little Piggy

Jun-17-2007 By Melissa

This little piggy went to market
This little piggy stayed home
This little piggy had roast beef
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy cried
Wee, wee, wee
All the way home.

During each line wiggle each toe, starting with the big toe and ending with the last little toe. During the last two lines tickle the child’s foot or tummy.

 

Freeze Dance

Jun-16-2007 By Melissa

Play some music and have children dance to the music when you stop the music have the children freeze. Repeat as often as you wish.

For younger children it is important not to make this competitive. Help all children enjoy movement and have a good time with this activity. This activity can help teach children to follow directions.
