Walking down the Street
As I was walking down the street
Down the street
A lovely friend I chanced to meet
High ho high ho high ho
Note – This game supports the child who wants to participate
but isn’t quite ready to make movement suggestions
Many of the activities listed as every day
activities in Table 1 (page P.2) can be setup
in areas where children travel between when
transitioning from one activity to another. For
example a jumping challenge on the way from
outdoor play to the bathroom to wash hands
before lunch.
I Move We Move, The Physical Acitivity Handbook – Preschoolers, Edition 1 August 2009
The children sit in a circle, one child is chosen
from the volunteers to have the first turn. The
child thinks of a way to walk and performs
this while the other children sing and keep
the rhythm.
When the friend is chosen, they both perform
the previous action or movement. The other
children continue singing, clapping and
stamping etc.
Depends on the chosen activity.
