Toddlers & Twos Activity Time

This program was similar to the Activity Time for 3s & 4s. I used the storytime format, minus the books. In addition to songs and fingerplays, we had fun with scarves and action play! The kids really enjoyed the program.

I always have the kids act out songs. You can create your own movements based on the age group. Below is a list of a few of the songs and fingerplays I used:

Instead of "I am singing" we say "I am splashing".

We also sang a bunch of old classics.

After the songs and fingerplays, I encouraged more movement and dance. I used the following songs and asked the kids to act out each movement.

London Town from the "Preschool Gym" CD
Hands are for Clapping by Jim Gill  from the CD "The Sneezing Song and Other Contagious Tunes".
Head Shoulders Knees and Toes

Afterwards we danced with scarves. I used the song "I'm a Believer" from the "Back to the Beat" CD for the free dance portion.
