Nursery Rhyme

The itsy, bitsy spider, climbed up the water spout.
Down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain,
So the itsy, bitsy spider went up the spout again.

Verse 1: Join the left index fingertip to right thumbtip and the right index fingertip to the left thumbtip. Keeping one fingertip and tumbtip touching, swing the other pair up to touch each other again. Repeat this "climbing" motion going"up the water spout

"Sprinkle fingers down for the second verse and make a sweeping motion for "washed the spider out"

Make a big sunshine (circle with your arms) for the third verse.Make your climbing fingers for the final verse.

The Gingerbread Man Bulletin Board

Some of the works my 1st year classes did, when I taught them the Gingerbread story...

some ideas:

- Make a Gingerbread Cookie with plasticine;

- Colour Dictation;

- Tell the story and students have to fill gaps with animal sounds and mimic;

- Give them a worksheet with lots of pictures and they have to colour and order only the pictures related to the story.

More ideas ????
