Materials: puppets

A sailor went to sea, sea sea...

• story wheel- really good idea, you can grab children's attention easily

Potato song

• other version of Pick Banana song

• great for organization, working together, making a circle

Fish song:

• paper puppets- it's an amazing idea kid's can manipulate, play with it

• They showed a lot of emotions - they used the rhyme for emotional development

  
  

  Gödri Vivien and Lantos Tamara: One, one, one, little dog run

• Animal crowns - it was a great bell-ringer activity that we imitated animal sounds

Now I have an organized list of rhymes based on topics I feel more confident about going to field practise next year.

I think it's a great start to know this many rhymes to start planning activities.

I find the course requirements a little bit too overwhelming, especially Unit 6. But at the end I could manage them all.

I liked the presentation

And I also liked how they shared the roles of presenting the rhyme. --> they showed the movements, and pictures (drawing)

Materials for the puppets:

• felt, yarn, cardboard, pipe cleaner

The purpose of the puppets:

• I can demonstrate the rhyme with them

• Children can also have roles, and play with it.

• The cat is a finger puppet- younger and older learners can use it

• The mouse is a 'yarn ball': I choose it because older kids can also make one. And use them when we are chanting the rhyme (there can be more mouses when we chant the rhyme) --> it's motivating that they can use their own puppets.

For example:

• Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been? (the kids ask)
  I’ve been down to London to visit the Queen. (The cat shows up)
  Pussy cat, pussy cat, what did you do there? (the kids ask again)
  I frightened a little mouse, under her chair. (the cat 'runs' close to the chair, and someone (a child) pulls out the mouse (with the string attached to its tail).
