Stretchy Man

Activity By : nurseriesandschools.org
What Will You Need?

Length of Lycra fabric

Implementation

Children sit in a circle firmly holding onto the edge of the fabric. Investigate the feel of the fabric and what it can do. Sing a nursery rhyme together (one with no actions so their hands don’t let go!) e.g. “Baa, baa, black sheep’” and at the end say “ready, steady” and on the word “go’” everyone lets go of the material.

Make this harder:

Work as a group to pull and stretch together. Name a child who will say `Ready, steady, go’ and everyone does what they say! Swing the fabric from side to side `la-laaing’ a lullaby song and gently lower the fabric to the ground together. All lie down on the floor with feet underneath the fabric and hands holding the edge as though going to sleep; when someone shouts “Wakey wakey!’ everyone scrabbles to sit up and lets go of the `bed sheet’!
