An easy and fun craft – activity for 1^st graders based on the song ‘5 Little Froggies’!

After we teach the song (described in http://rcel.enl.uoa.gr/peap/taksi/kyklos-b/numbers-1-5#material ) and encourage children to make the accompanying moves with us, we hand out the first photocopy, folded in two, and sellotaped at the edges. If we want to help 1^st graders we can cut the shape of the well hole before we give it to them, as it will be rather challenging for those little hands to handle their scissors around the hole.

Now, it’s time to perform the song seated!

We sing the song and when we come to  ‘…and down he fell’, one froggie goes into the well! You’ve guessed right! All froggies end up in the well! Which is a good thing, as we know they won’t be lost, safe in the paper well pouch!

Children love it and they get to keep the well and froggies to use and play throughout the year!

Here are the templates:
