Hi there, little buddies! Did you have a good night’s sleep? We sure did! We even had a super fun sleepover! But guess what? It’s already 8:30, and school starts at 9! Oh no, we need to get ready really fast!
Here’s a fun idea! Let’s play a game called “Follow the Leader” to get ready quickly. You just have to watch me and do what I do!
First, let’s make our beds! Sing along with me:
This is the way we make our beds,
Make our beds, make our beds.
This is the way we make our beds,
So early in the morning.
Great job, everyone! The beds are all nice and tidy. What’s next?
Now, let’s get all clean! Follow me:
This is the way we wash our face,
Wash our face, wash our face.
This is the way we wash our face,
So early in the morning.
Time to brush those teeth! Watch me:
This is the way we brush our teeth,
Brush our teeth, brush our teeth.
This is the way we brush our teeth,
So early in the morning.
Wow, your teeth are sparkling clean! Let’s keep going!
Let’s make our hair look nice and neat:
This is the way we comb our hair,
Comb our hair, comb our hair.
This is the way we comb our hair,
So early in the morning.
Now, let’s tie our shoes so we can run and play:
This is the way we tie our shoes,
Tie our shoes, tie our shoes.
This is the way we tie our shoes,
So early in the morning.
Oh look, the school bus is here! Let’s grab our breakfast and get going!
This is the way we go to school,
Go to school, go to school.
This is the way we go to school,
So early in the morning.
Yay! We’re all ready for a fun day at school! Have a great day, little buddies!
Morning Routine Chart: Create a morning routine chart with your child. Use pictures or drawings to represent each step of the morning routine, such as making the bed, washing the face, brushing teeth, combing hair, and tying shoes. Encourage your child to follow the chart each morning and place a sticker next to each task they complete. This will help them understand the sequence of activities and develop independence.
Role Play Game: Set up a role play where your child can be the “leader” and guide you or their friends through the morning routine. Provide props like a toy toothbrush, a small towel, and a hairbrush. Let them lead the way by singing the song from the article and demonstrating each task. This activity will reinforce their understanding of the routine and build confidence in leading others.
Observation Walk: Take a short walk around your neighborhood or home and observe how others start their day. Ask your child to notice if they see anyone making their bed, brushing their teeth, or getting ready for school. Discuss how everyone has their own morning routine and why it’s important to start the day with these activities. This will help them connect the concept to real-life situations and understand its importance.
