Bee Break & HSKT

My newest favorite creation: Head Shoulders Knees Toes poster!  Got the idea here and tried to make it my own, love the addition of movements as well as body parts!   Each of the parts are attached with magnets so they are interchangeable.  The magnets aren't all that strong so I keep the pieces in a bag when traveling, but I like the magnets better than velcro because they are easier for the kids to attach and detach.

 

Also, I thought we would take a break from reviewing all the program songs.  We are (mostly me) getting tired of them so we took a BEE BREAK.

I happened to find a bee puppet that is attached to a glove in the primary closet and I pulled that out.  I then used the puppet to pick a kid to come up, but then they had to Be the Bee, which meant wearing a headband that I had attached yellow/black twisted pipecleaners to, which obviously looked like very authentic bee antennae.

I also had a bee hive and bees visual, so they picked a bee, which had a song written on it, and then flew the bee into the hive.  All the songs were summer/outdoor type songs to go with the theme.  I even mixed it up by having them hum a song like bees, or buzz like bees whenever there was an "S" sound.  The kids were so cute with their little antennae headbands.
