PLAY A NAME GAME
Play a mime game. Pretend to put on some dancing shoes and dance around. People playing the game can guess whether you have put on ballet shoes or tap shoes. Pretend to put on different types of shoes and have your friends guess what shoes you have put on. For example, put on soccer boots and kick about. What other shoes can you wear? What do you do when you are wearing the shoes?
NIGHTTIME STORY
Read a nighttime story to someone living at your home, or tell a story to your toy friends.
Make and do
HOW TO MAKE A SHOE-BOX TRAIN, BUS AND AEROPLANE
To make a shoebox train, bus and aeroplane you will need:
Shoeboxes
Cardboard
Milk bottle tops
Scissors
Markers
Coloured paper
Pipe cleaners
Paddle pop sticks
Cushion
DOUBLE DECKER BUS
Stand the shoebox on its side and stick four wheels onto each side of the bus.
Glue a cardboard rim around the top edges of the roof of the bus to make an open-air double decker bus.
Paste coloured paper squares onto the side to represent windows and doors on the bus.
Draw some passengers in the windows, and a driver for the bus.
TRAIN
Remove the lid from three or four shoeboxes. Attach them together with pipe cleaner to make train carriages.
Glue or tape milk top wheels on each box for train wheels.
Make a train track by gluing paddle pop sticks together, and put the track over a cushion hill.
AEROPLANE
Remove the lid from the shoebox.
Cut some wings and glue or tape them to the box so that the aeroplane is ready to fly.
HOW TO MAKE NIGHTTIME PICTURES
To make nighttime pictures you will need:
Dark blue or black cardboard
Coloured paper,
Glitter
Glue
Cut out shapes of things you may see in the nighttime.
Try a lamppost, a car, a man, a woman and a child. Glue these onto the cardboard.
Give each a glittery feature. E.g. put some glitter on the lady’s handbag, the man could have glitter pants and the child could have a glitter dress and shoes, which sparkle in the night.
Headlights can be added to the car with silvery glitter and a silvery glitter light can be added to the lamppost.
Cut out some star shapes and a moon from the coloured paper and glue them onto the nighttime picture. Then add some glitter to make them sparkly by putting glue on the shapes and sprinkling the glitter over the top.
