Large group at the end of the day is a time to get up and move! One of the teachers introduced an activity for the children: musical chairs with a twist!
The teacher set many carpet squares in a circle on the group rug and had all the children and teachers find a carpet square to stand on. When the music began, everyone walked around in a circle. When the music stopped, each person had to find a carpet square to stand on.
Each time the music stopped, another carpet square was removed. This made the game more challenging, as some children and teachers had to get creative and share carpet squares!
The children also chose different ways to move and dance as they walked around in a circle. Some moved their arms up and down in a graceful motion. Then all the children decided to hop from one square to the next, all around the circle.
The circle gradually grew smaller as children left, one by one, to go home with their families. It was a fun and energy-filled way to end this week!
Have a great weekend!
