Aussie Childcare Network Forum

Blahhhhhhhhhhhhh .... chose my song Row Row Row your boat for my song with an element of movement etc., using different words such as if you see a crocodile don't forget to scream, and changing it up with row row row the boat gently to the shore if you see a lion don't forget to roar and several like this..........now I have to choose 3 resources that could be used in conjunction with this song to supoort children's motor development and describe how they can be used, and this i'm struggling with....
I was thinking maybe stuffed animals as the characters in the song but stumped really.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

First of all, what age group is the activity for?

For the 4 plus age group, children can make their paddles using the cyclinder roll left over from the cling wrap or foil. At my the centre, the Qualified teacher used a huge roll left over from the fabric roll. They usually throw it out at Spotlight. The teacher made a sail for the pirate ship using the fabric roll. You can give the option for children to decorate it with paint, glitter, crayons etc.

Another idea is you can help the kids make sailor hats using newspaper or make pirate hats. Our teacher made eye patches using the card board from storing avocados.

that's all I can come up with right now. I will let you know if I have more ideas.

thanks for that gives me a great help
