Page 7 - Moana 2 hour

“And everyone knows that to be like Moana you have to be good at swimming!”
Moana is swimming, Moana is swimming, Moana is swimming in the Island class.
Moana is sleeping... Moana is waking...
“Now I’m going to be the lava demon and chase you and see how many Moanas I can catch!”
Chase the children as you sing the final verse.
The lava demon’s chasing...
Ask the birthday boy/girl if they would like to be the next lava demon. If they say no, choose someone with their hand up who managed to escape you. Remind the next lava demon that when you sing “The lava demon’s chasing” they must catch as many Moanas as possible. Repeat and then choose a child who “managed to escape” to be the next lava demon (otherwise they’ll all just be caught on purpose). Repeat as many times as necessary (for example if there is no pass the parcel and/or not many children you may get through the activities quickly and so extend this one, or if you are running behind you could perform the activity just two or three times).
17. MUSICAL BUMPS (without instruments): ‘No Ordinary Girl’ performed by the cast of H2O
“Well done everyone! You’ve done an excellent job of chasing. But to be like Moana you must also be excellent at swimming and diving!” Ask the children if they know the game ‘Musical Bumps’. Tell them that they’re going to play a game just like it called ‘Musical Swimming!’ Tell the children they are going to swim around the room like Moana (demonstrate swimming as you say this) and when the music stops it means a giant wave is coming and so they must dive underneath it as quickly as they can (demonstrate jumping down to sit as you say this). Do not eliminate children or make anyone ‘out’. Rather, tell them that you will be watching carefully and if they dive down quickly when the music stops, then they will all get some magic sparkles at the end of the party! Play the track and the children swim around the room. Encourage them to do different types of swimming including freestyle, backstroke, butterfly and breaststroke. Pause the music sporadically and the children dive down under the giant wave. Point out children who are diving down quickly. At the end of the game, congratulate the children on doing a great job and tell them they’ve all won some magic sparkles that you will give them at the end of the party.
18. PARACHUTE ACTIVITY WITH HIDING: ‘Maui is Hiding’ (sung to the traditional tune of ‘Someone is Hiding’)
“It’s time to play with the parachute again!” The children sit around the imaginary parachute and move it from side to side to the pulse for the first two lines. For each, “Peek-a-boo!” the children quickly lift the imaginary parachute up high into the air and then down again on “I see you!” Repeat the song with the real parachute. Next choose two or three children (including the birthday child) to be Maui and curl up and hide underneath the parachute. Repeat the song and for each, “Peek-a-boo!” you reveal the hidden children who sit up and pull a muscle pose to be like Maui. Repeat until every child has had a turn. Once the game has been played a few times, encourage the children to sing the words with you. If you have a party assistant or if there is a willing parent nearby, ask them to hold the opposite end of the parachute and encourage the children to all go under together as you sing the song one final time.
Maui is hiding, is hiding, is hiding, Maui is hiding, where could he be? Peek-a-boo! I see you!
Peek-a-boo! I see you!
19. ACTION SONG OR POEM TWO: ‘Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes’ performed by Lucy sparkles & Friends
