Rhymes, recipes and tips The land of toys

The wheels on the bus

The land of toys is a lovely place, everything has a special space. When the sun rises each day, all the toys come out to play.

The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round. The wheels on the bus go round and round, all through town!

Nalize Marais

With my blocks I build a house or dress my doll with a pink blouse. Sometimes my friend comes to play, I share my toys and we play for the day. Tonight the moon and stars will shine. My toys sleep tight and make me smile. I keep them all in a special box, so they will never, ever get lost!

Traditional song

Draw a hopscotch

I drive in my red motor car Traditional song (cf. All-in-one series)

I drive in my red motorcar right down the busy street. The light is red I have to stop and let the others go. Stop! says the red light, Go! says the green light, Carefull! says the yellow light, Careful what you do.

Use chalk and draw the shapes on the patio or any other paved area. As an alternative, use a stick to draw it in the sand.

Week 11 Day 1

Playtime

Session 1: Free play inside The facilitator provides toys for the promotion of perceptual development, e.g. a puzzle, blocks/ Lego, colouring books and crayons, or any activity that will promote perceptual development. Use puzzles and pictures that relate to the theme of the learning unit: ‘Toys’, e.g. a doll’s house, construction toys, etc.

Session 2: Focus area: Life skills Let’s talk about toys

• • • • • • • • • • •

Talk about playing and toys. Let the learners talk about playing, what they like and what they like to play with. • Do you like to play? Which toy do you like to play with? Why do you like playing with that toy? Tell me what your favourite toy looks like. Do you know what favourite means? Your favourite toy is that toy that you like the most and love to play with the most. The learners must be able to explain what they like to play with, the colour of the toy, where they like playing with it, etc. Let the learners bring their favourite toys to school to show it to the facilitator (or friends). Sometimes we play alone with our toys, but at other times we play with friends. When we play with friends it is important to share. Everyone must have a turn to play with the toys. Do you have a friend whom you like to play with? What is your friend’s name? Which game do you like to play with your friend?

• Where do you like to play? We can play outside in the garden, we can play in the park, or we can play at home in our room. • What do we play with outside in the garden? (Ball, sand, swing, ride bicycle, chase each other, swim, sandpit, cars, build a farm, etc.) • Have you ever been to a park? What do we play in the park? • What do you play with in your room or playroom? • What do you do after playing with your toys? It is important for the learners to be aware of clearing away and putting away toys. We must always look after our toys and put them away safely when we have finished playing.

Session 3: Focus area: Mathematics Count rhythmically to 10 while the learners clap their hands. The facilitator claps her hands. The learners listen and then clap the same number of times with their hands: • Facilitator claps twice. The learners listen and also claps twice. • Facilitator claps 4 times. The learners listen and also claps 4 times. • Facilitator claps 5 times. The learners listen and also claps 5 times. • Facilitator claps 3 times. The learners listen and also claps 3 times. Use number cards. • The learners put the number cards in a row from 1 to 5. • Use counters/blocks. The learners put 1 block next to 1, 2 blocks next to 2, 3 blocks next to 3, 4 blocks next to 4 and 5 blocks next to 5. • Place all the blocks together. The facilitator holds the number cards. Flash a number and the learners put down the number with counters, e.g. the facilitator shows 3. The learners put down 3 counters. The facilitator repeats the activity with numbers 1 - 5. Give the learners 5 different toys, e.g. a car, block, plastic animal, ball, figurine, etc. • Put the toys in a row below the row of number cards. The learners put a toy underneath each number. • The facilitator requests the learners to identify the toys in the row, but uses ordinal numbers: • The car is first in the row. • Where is the block? (The block is second in the row.) © Impaq 11

Grade R~ Facilitator’s Guide 2

• • What is fourth in the row? (the ball) • Where is the figurine? The figurine is fifth in the row. • Shuffle the toys. Ask the learners to put down a new row and say out loud what comes first, second, third, fourth and fifth.

Session 4: Free play outside During free play the learners should be allowed to play according to their needs and skill. The facilitator can provide specific apparatus, e.g. a ball, hoop, sandpit games and water games. The learners develop important skills through play – this is a very important part of the daily programme. Provide apparatus that will enable the learners to use their bodies and to become aware of everything that they can do with their bodies. The learners must climb and clamber, ride see-saw, spin a hoop, swing, balance, run, etc.

Session 5: Creative activity Cover a table with a plastic tablecloth. Place various colours of watercolour paint, large paint brushes and water on a table. Make sure that the paint containers cannot fall over. Mark the paint brushes according to the colours of paint on the table, e.g. the brush in the red paint has a red dot on its handle. This will prevent the paint from mixing. Earlier the learners spoke about their favourite toys. Now they paint that toy on a large sheet of paper.

Session 6: Focus area: Language The facilitator pastes a picture on her finger or on an ice-cream stick/pencil, e.g. an aeroplane, car, or doll. The learners must sit directly in front of the facilitator and look at the picture. The facilitator moves her finger in the air from right to left (for the learners it is left to right – the direction of reading). Ask the learners to keep their heads still, but to follow the aeroplane/bird with their eyes. The facilitator makes movements in the air: • Slowly move in a straight line from right to left and back again. • Make a zigzag movement in the air from right to left. • Slither like a snake from right to left. • While the learners are following the index finger with their eyes, take note of their eye movement.

Complete Activity 75 in the workbook: Use crayons and complete the patterns.

Session 7: Story time

Day 2

Who lives in Toyland?

Session 2: Focus area: Life skills Let’s talk about Toyland

Read the poem: The land of toys • The learners do not have to remember the poem, but must listen very carefully and participate in the discussion. • Do you think that there is really a place like Toyland? (Toyland is not a real country, it is a place that we dream of.) • What do you think it looks like there and what it is like to live in Toyland? • Who live in Toyland? (cars, dolls, blocks) • When must you share your toys? Do you know what it means to share? Explain to the learners that it is nice to play with your toys on your own, but that one sometimes plays with other friends. Then we must share our toys and give everyone a turn. • How do you feel if someone takes one of your toys? If someone takes something without asking, you feel angry or sad. That is why we must always ask if we may play with someone else’s toys. • When must we put our toys away? (At night when it is time to go to bed.) • When does the sun set? In the evening. Then it is time to bath, eat and go to sleep.
