This series will provide a lively range of fresh ideas that are no more than 10 minutes in duration. All the activities will require little or no preparation and are ideal for busy practitioners to slot in to the day as required. The ideas will be linked to the Stepping Stones and Early Learning Goals so can be used as part of a planned curriculum. Each book will also contain a selection of time-saving photocopiables designed to encourage children to use a wide range of skills. The activities in this book provide a range of cross-curricular ideas based on six nursery rhymes: - Five Little Ducks - Hickory, Dickory Dock - There Were Ten in a Bed - Pat-a-Cake - Old Mother Hubbard - The Wheels on the Bus. In addition, photocopiable activity sheets and the rhymes are included.
