Circle Time

Review – Start your preschool day with Circle Time and sing the “I Can Sit Down” song (Improvise your tune)

                                                I can sit down as quite as can be.
                                                I can sit down just to look at me.
                                                I can sit down as quite as can be.
                                                I can sit down just to look at me.

Then sing the “Hi There” song. (Improvise your tune) 

                                                Hi there, so glad you came.
                                                Hi there, so glad you came.
                                                Hi there, so glad you came.
                                                One two three let’s shout HOORAY.
                                                Hi there, so glad you’re here.
                                                Hi there, so glad you’re here.
                                                Hi there, so glad you’re here.
                                                One two three let’s give a cheer. Yay

Next do your Special Help activity.

Look at the calendar and sing the “Days of the Week” song. (Tune of the “Adams Family”) 

                                                Well there’s Sunday and there’s Monday,
                                                there’s Tuesday and there’s Wednesday,
                                                there’s Thursday and there’s Friday and then there’s Saturday.
                                                Days of the week. (Clap hands 2 times).
                                                Days of the week. (Clap hands 2 times).
                                                Days of the week. Days of the week. Days of the week. (Clap hands 2 times).

This is a great time to review the days of the week, months of the year and the number of the day. Then check the weather and compare it to your weather dial.

Discussion: Doctors and Nurses

Talk to the children about going to the doctor’s office and getting a checkup. Explain to the children that doctors and nurses have to wash their hands several times a day to prevent spreading germs or diseases to others or themselves. Model the proper way of washing hands, then have the children model the proper way of washing their hands.

Sing the song under Music and Movement while washing hands.

Here is a fun activity you can do with children. Put some glitter on the children’s hands and pretend the glitter are the germs and they children need to wash the germs (glitter) away.

Music and Movement: This Is the Way We Wash Our Hands

Extra Content: Painting with cars and cleaning them off with a car wash. This is a super fun way for children to work on making sure something is clean. Click here for the video.
