Puddles

Puddles

Give each child a piece of chalk and invite them to chalk puddles on the playground.  Invite children to jump in the puddles, splash in the puddles, kick the water in the muddles. Play some music to encourage rhythm. 

Music suggestion: Raindrops keep falling on my head – Burt Bacharach

Adapt for younger children:

Adult draws the puddles and children, with assistance if required, practice two feet jumping in the puddles.

Extension:

Introduce challenge – only 1 child per puddle, 2 children per puddle, find a yellow puddle etc.  Progress to hopping
