We have a large book of nursery rhymes and I try to let the child who is leader for the day choose a rhyme they want us to recite. Today it was this one 1,2,3,4,5 once I caught a fish alive. It was good for learning numbers in rote and also led in to talking about fish and who goes fishing with parents as well as eating fish!
I want to follow this on tomorrow in our group time by creating our own fish on a line. I am unfortunately one of the old style who uses templates (cringe!) but want to move away from that - how can I do this group activity effectively?
