BINGO

Here's a simple support for BINGO song, it can sometimes be hard for children to remember how many claps/ letters this supports them in knowing. Also supports recognition of letters. 

           

         

This could be done with children's names

 

Parachute Play

I love playing with the parachute with young children, and have found it a great way to focus children's singing. I have compiled a collection of song based activities I have used, mostly with very young children with Special needs but will be useful for most preschool groups (Or homes with a child's blanket). I have uploaded to Scribd and it can be purchased for a very reasonable price
