Name Games And Songs


Recommended Posts

we play a game with a shaker. I usually start and sing xxxxx has the shaker the shaker the shaker xxxx has the shaker and passes it onto ? saying their name.

 

younger children tend to pass it to the person next to them where as older children will pass across the circle.

 

sorry cannot think what tune is not sure if we didnt make it up. sort of starts off like incy wincy spider.

 

their are a few games in sounds and letters i think

 

good luck

Tried that willaby wallaby at lunch club today - they loved it. How about 'Peter rabbit has a fly upon his nose, peter rabbit has a fly upon his nose, peter rabbit has a fly upon his nose, and he swished and he swashed it and the fly flew away (point to next child sitting nicely etc) Joseph rabbit has a fly upon his nose etc.. then next child.. Tia rabbit has a fly upon her nose..

we play passing a ted and telling him or name, then passing ted and telling him the person next them names' and hen we pass things like pas the smail/handshake/silly face. Then progress to saying someones name and passing the smelly face on to them.

I'm not sure if this is the title but the peter rabbit song is a bit like the glory,glory hallelujah tune!!

 

I sing this to the tune 'Johns Brown Body'

hope this helps.

Lots of great ideas here

thanks.
