Game
movements - Procedure:
Each
member of the family is represented by a finger, like the pictures
below:
Daddy
Mommy
Baby
Brother
Sister
The
first time, the teacher sings the song to teach the vocabulary to the
kids.
This variation can be made for 1-2 aged children.
To
help to learn the vocabulary, in a previous lesson, the teacher has
explained
the children who the members of a family are with flash cards
and
other pictures, and with the photos of the children with their own
family.
At
the time the teacher is singing the song “Finger family”, she shows the
named
finger with a finger puppet that represents the faces of the different
members.
After
she has sung the first time, the children can imitate the teacher and
repeat
the lyrics as well as the gestures.
Variations:
For
older children, 3-5 aged, we can make it more difficult.
These
kids know who the family members are, so the first time the teacher
sings
the song around the formed Assembly (everyone is sitting down), she
shows
the named finger and repeats the song twice, and after the children
have
learned the song, the teacher makes 5 groups.
Each
group will represent a family member. When the song says “daddy”,
“Mommy”,
“brother” and so on, each group has to stand up and dance
moving
their entire body, until the next family member is named and
sung.
The
last time the song is sung, everybody is singing, but when the song
names
“daddy”, mommy”, “brother” and so on, the teacher gives anyone an
object
(tie for daddy, a handbag for mummy, a cap for the brother, a
hairband
for the sister, and a rattle for the baby). At the time the child is
receiving
the object, he/she has to stand up and dance imitating a daddy,
mommy,
brother and so on, depending on the case.
Materials:
5
finger puppets representing each member of the family. With children
older
than 3, they can previously make a workshop to make some finger
puppets
with cards and cryons. In groups, each of them will create one
member
of the family.
Objectives:
_ To work Finger psychomotricity
_ To learn the family members
_ To represent the family members (symbolic
image)
_ To learn to work in groups
_ To coordinate the dance in groups Finger Puppets
When
and where:
The
workshop can be made before the break or after lunch, because it's a
relaxing
activity that doesn´t
require much concentration. The workshop
is
indicated for children over 3 years, and in spite of that, the teacher has
to
help them to stick the face and clothes. The teacher can also draw the
face
and body of the finger family and the kids only have to colour the
drawing
with the colours indicated by the teacher. With this option, we
can
reforce another aknowledgement about the colours, too.
For example:
“the
daddy finger has to be coloured with a blue pen, the mommy´s finger
has
to be coloured with the green pen...” and so on.
The
song can be taught and sung in the Assembly or after the Assembly,
but
it's important to get the attention of the children, that they are sitting
down
in half a circle.
