Using our instruments

We were in a very musical mood this morning.

We played our instruments to the sound of some great kids songs.

Everyone could choose the instrument they wanted to play and then we swapped round lots.

We are proud of the music we can play!

Keeper of the keys

We played a great drama game called "Keeper of the Keys".

In our version, one of the children is as the keeper of the keys and sits on a chair with the keys beneath him/her.  Another child steals the keys then rushes back to their own place and hides the keys.  Then our keeper can turn around and try and guess who has the keys.  This is a fun game.  We really enjoyed playing it.
