Activities of a song sheet

We thought some activities that we can prepare to children after a listening about parts of the body and actions with it. The activity consist in put the correct order of the pictures and matching it with a phrase.

Other activity that we thought to do, after the one that I explain, is playing "Simon says". And then, the children can sing the song while they do actions relation with the song.

Tell "5 little dugs"

I had choos the book "5 little ducks" illustrated by Wendy Straw and edited by Brolly Books because it is a good book to tell very young children. This book has an easy vocabulary, a short, a repetitive structure and a big size with a pretty ilustration.

When I tell the story to the children I work the prediction asking before telling the book: What do you think is the story about?, What sounds do the ducks? and Where the ducks live?.

Since I tell the story I ask them: How many ducks appear now?.
