Ideas for Later
Crocodile Game:
Play the game: "Crocodile, crocodile can I cross your golden river?"
The idea of the game is to get across the river without being caught by the person who is the crocodile. The crocodile gets to decide who gets to cross the river by choosing a colour. If the person trying to cross is wearing that particular colour, he/she may cross freely. If you are not wearing that particular colour, you have to try and run across without getting caught by the crocodile. Each time before crossing, the player's call, "Crocodile, crocodile can I cross your golden river?" then the crocodile replies, "Not unless you are wearing the colour ___________.

Collect some toys that you can play with in the bath. Keep them in a plastic basket so the water can drain out of them when you are finished playing with them. These may be special bath toys or home-made bath toys like squeezy, spuirty bottles, plastic cups, sponges.
