Page 3 - Princess 2 hour

“It’s time to see what I have in my sparkly magic bag!” Reveal magic wand. “What does a magic wand do? Today I’m going to show you how we can use it to make all of our wishes come true. First you need to learn the special wishing song and it goes like this.” Point your wand to different children to the pulse as you sing the song acapella.
All:
Starlight, starbright,
First star I see tonight.
Wish I may, wish I might, Have this wish I wish tonight.
You: Birthday girl/boy, (insert child’s name) what’s your wish? Birthday girl/boy: I wish for a pony. (The child invents their own wish.)
All (spoken): One, two three, abracadabra! (The children wave their imaginary wands.)
Repeat several times as above, except for at the end of each verse when you ask the children to put their hand up if they would like to make a wish. You then sing “Hello, what’s your wish?” to a child that has their hand up. If you have more than ten children, you could try asking a few children at a time (at the end of each verse before saying “one, two, three abracadabra”) to speed up the activity. If you have more than 20 children you can ask everyone that hasn’t had a turn to shout their wish out at once.
6. CHOREOGRAPHED DANCE ONE: ‘Fairy Dancing’ performed by The Fairies
Click on song name to open the video in YouTube.
“Now I’m going to teach you a special dance that will help you to make even more wishes come true.” Hand each child a magic wand or “magic wishing sword” and go through the tricky moves. Play the track and perform the dance as in the video. Collect the wands (and swords if applicable) at the end.
7. PARACHUTE ACTIVITY WITH TOY/S ON TOP: ‘Ten Toys on the Bouncing Castle’ (tune of ‘Two Teddies on a Trampoline’ by Linda Bance)
“Who can tell me where princesses live? My favourite kind of castle is a bouncing castle. Let’s make one now with the parachute.” Explain that first they must practice with the imaginary parachute and that if everyone listens really well then you will take out the real parachute. Sing the song and move your arms up and down in time with the pulse.
No toys on the bouncing castle, Boing, boing, boing, boing.
No toys on the bouncing castle, Boing, boing, boing.
Repeat the song, but the group holds the edges of the real parachute, moving it up and down to the pulse. “If everyone listens well I will put some toys on top.” Place one soft toy or finger puppet on top and sing:
One toy on the bouncing castle, Boing, boing, boing, boing. One toy on the bouncing castle, Boing, boing, boing.
Add a second toy on top and sing “Two toys...” Repeat for up to ten toys. Then place as many soft toys and finger puppets as you have (up to about 20) on top and skip to singing “Lots of toys on the bouncing castle etc.”. Don’t worry if they fall off. They always do!
8. MUSICAL STATUES (with instruments): ‘Shake It Off’ by Taylor Swift
a) Ask the children if they know the game Musical Statues. Tell them that they’re going to play a game a little bit like Musical Statues and that if they can beat you to win, you
will give them all a Haribo treat.
b) Explain that they are going to be princesses and you are going to give them a musical
treasure (egg shaker) each.
c) When the music plays they must march their treasures to the royal palace (demonstrate
as you tell them). When the music stops it means the naughty witch is coming and so
