1 Title: Age: MightyBugs Early Learning Goals: CLL: to be able to sustain listening, responding to what they have heard by relevant comments, questions or actions. PD: to recognise the importance of keeping healthy, and the things which contribute to this. Physical Benefits: Monkey strengthens and tones the leg muscles, Washing machine releases stiffness in the shoulders, Dog strengthens the arms and lengthens the hamstrings, Rocking the baby keeps hip mobile, Additional Resources: Puppet to use to address the children. Music: Relax Kids CD. The majority of the songs used in this class plan are available from the A-Z Songs, Stories and Nursery Rhymes. Parent Pointers: Parents should join in throughout the class as children will copy them. When we do nursery rhymes or songs, parents should sing a long too. Introduction: 3mins Tick children s name off the register as they enter. Shoes and socks off. Settle the class down and ask parent/carer to sit in a circle with legs stretched out with their child in between their legs. Welcome: 4 mins Introduce yourself and your puppet.

I spy with my little eye someone wearing red socks/a blue t-shirt, green trousers etc If the children have on that item they can put their hand up and shout out their name. This encourages self-confidence and helps children to recognise colours. If the children are not responding, ask for parental involvement to encourage their children.
