With re opening of schools just round the corner ...all the teachers and educators must be busy finding activities for their first day at school ..
Here’s a wonderful circle time activity which will help you to get to know your students well!!!
Welcome Back to School Song
1. Make a 'peep tube' from a rolled up poster-size cardboard.
2. Sit the children in a circle, teacher in the centre.
3. The teacher will play peek-a-boo with each child through and around the sides of the tube while singing this simple song to each child: The tune is the same as "I hear thunder"
Where is ...(child's name)? (peep at child)
Where is ...(child's name)?
Did s/he come?
Did s/he come?
Come to school today?
4. Then teach each child to reply: "Here I am, Here I am and How do you do," and they shake hands with you as they say it or sing it.
Some will be shy, so maybe they should all reply together on behalf of the child whose turn it is. We used to do this in our pre school class and after they got over their shyness, the kids loved it. They even took turns being the 'teacher'.
