Tips
Parent Tip: Make a walk more interesting
Song: “Walking, Walking” (Wee Sing Children's Songs and Fingerplays)
• When on a hike or just walking around the neighborhood, if your child is tired and wants you to carry him/her, try this: To the tune of "Are You Sleeping" sing and follow the actions of the words,
Walking, walking, walking, walking,
Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop,
Running, running, running, running, running, running,
Now let's stop, now let's stop.
• Continue for as long as it holds the child's attention.
Teacher Tip: Transition time
Song: “Walking, Walking” (Wee Sing Children's Songs and Fingerplays)
• When out on the playground and it's time to come in, instead of blowing a whistle or yelling, try this: To the tune of "Are You Sleeping" sing and follow the actions of the words,
Walking, walking, walking, walking,
Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop,
Running, running, running, running, running, running,
Now let's stop, now let's stop.
• Continue singing and doing the actions until all children are in line and ready to walk into the classroom.
