Body awareness

I didn't have a chance to post yesterday. I am the coach of M's soccer team and we have practice on Thursdays, sometimes it gets a little crazy getting all the kids ready and fed. Anyway, we worked on body awareness. I started by having them point to different body part that I know they already know. We sang the song "Head shoulders knees and toes". Then we talked about knuckles and finger prints. I showed the kids where their knuckles are and then we talked about how everyone has different fingerprints. To tie in the pumpkins we were about to create I had them sing "5 Little Pumpkins". I taped a yellow half sheet of paper down for each of them to paint. I explained to them that we would use the orange paint and a paint brush to paint our knuckles. We would then place out knuckles on the paper like you were using a stamp. The older 3 again got it the younger 2 needed help, I expected that. After the had placed a few pumpkins on the paper. I took out the green paint and explained that they would make pumpkin stems with their finger print. It went well overall. The pictures turned out cute. It was a little crazy so I was unable to get pictures. I will post one later today.
