18. PARACHUTE ACTIVITY WITH HIDING: ‘All Around the Castle (Frozen version)’ (sung to the traditional tune of ‘Pop Goes the Weasel’)
“Does anyone know the name of the scary monster that Elsa creates to guard her ice castle in Frozen 1 (Marshmallow)? We’re going to play a game about him now.” The children hold the edges of the parachute and walk around in a circle as you sing the song. They keep the parachute still until “Ahhh” when they quickly lift it high into the air. Once the children understand the game, reveal the toy Olaf and place him on top of the parachute. Repeat the song several times with the Olaf toy on top, tossing him high into the air on “Ahhh”.
All around the castle,
Marshmallow chased Olaf. Marshmallow pushed him over the cliff, “Ahhh” went Olaf!
Take the toy off and ask the children if they’d like to hide underneath. If there are 12 children or less they can take turns hiding under in groups of three. If there are more than 12 children, ask an adult to hold the other end of the parachute so all the children can hide under at once. Sing the song and lift the parachute up as you say “Ahhh!” to reveal the hidden children. Repeat at least once if all the children are hiding at the same time.
NB: If the children are mostly turning three, it maybe easier to do this activity seated, moving the parachute site to side to the pulse and then up high at the end (instead of walking around in a circle).
19. ACTION SONG OR POEM TWO: ‘Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes’ performed by Lucy sparkles & Friends
“To be like Elsa and Anna who figure out how to save Arendelle, you have to be really clever!” So we’re going to do the tricky version of ‘Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes’ to see just how big and strong your brains are!” Play the track and perform the actions indicated by the lyrics. Don’t forget to sing a long and remind the children when to use their “thinking voices”. See if you can catch anyone out!
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes, Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes, And eyes and ears and mouth and nose,
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.
20. MAKE A MAGIC BIRTHDAY CAKE*: ‘Chop, Chop’ by Traditional and ‘Happy Birthday’ by Traditional
Tell the children that it’s almost time for bubbles but first they must make a magic birthday cake for the birthday child! Choose some volunteers to tell you which ingredients they would like to put in the magic birthday cake. Place the suggested ingredients onto your chopping board (flat palm facing up). Chop them with your knife (other hand) to the pulse as you say the first two lines of the poem. Mime putting the ingredients into the mixing bowl on the third line and repeat the chopping action again for the fourth line. Pretend to stir the mixture for the fifth line then have a cheeky taste!
Chop, chop, choppity chop,
Chop off the bottom and chop off the top. What we have left we will put in the pot. Chop, chop, choppity chop.
Stir it round, stir it round,
Tell me what you have found.
Say the poem just once or twice as you’ve done it already, make sure you make it as different from the first version as possible, and encourage the children to join in as ‘they know it really well now!’ Next, ask the children how long the cake should go in the oven for. Mime putting the cake in the oven and count out loud together to the suggested number of minutes. Next, take the cake out of the oven, mime putting candles on it and all sing the traditional ‘Happy Birthday’ song. It’s a magic cake so tell the birthday child to “blow out your candles and make a wish!”
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear insert child’s name, Happy birthday to you.
