shoulder and tuck the corner into the belt. Wrap the other end round the back,
up and under the right arm and over the left shoulder. Pin in place.
Activity 2
Melt the wax of a candle on a tin-foil dish then pour it over a wooden or card
slate. Let it set, then let the children use knitting needles to write their names
in the wax.
Activity 3
Play ‘Jacks’ using five stones. Put four on the ground then toss one stone and
while it is in the air, try to pick up another stone. Hold this stone in your hand
while you toss the first stone again and try to pick up another stone. This is
continued until all the stones are in your hand. Reverse the game by putting
one stone down at a time whilst throwing another in the air.
Activity 4
Try writing with pens and ink. A menu could be written for a banquet on a scroll
of paper. Reference books will be needed to gather ideas for suitable food.

Juggle with three balls. Stand three children a triangle, each with a ball. On a

ball at the same time.
