1. Say the rhyme with your big teddy, helping him/her to do the actions to the pulse. Do roly poly arms for ‘turn around’.
If you are in a public class with parents/carers, the adults should do the actions with their babies. If you are in an ELC/Pre-school, put your big teddy down after performing the rhyme once so they can “watch”. Then perform the actions, helping some of the babies.
2. “Big Teddy is very sleepy now. Let's help him/her to go to sleep by saying the rhyme quietly.” Perform the actions one last time as you say the rhyme using your “whispering” voice.
Small classes only: allow each child a quick stroke of the teddy to say good night before putting him/her back in your sparkly magic bag.
Same as pre- schoolers activities 1, 2&5
