Gathering time that suits both adults and children
.jpg)
I have made a collection box for gathering time that is suitable for both big and small children. It might sound like I've locked a cat in there, but that's not the case.
It is important that the box contains a couple of selections that you can use for a collection, I also use to have a guitar with me to sing the songs.
The box contains a bit of miscellaneous, but surely more can be added?? It was important for me to create a box with pictures that you can point to and create conversations about, that the children recognize and create wonder and everyday magic.
The box contains:
- Bluetooth speakers where you can get a colleague to connect in advance and play for example sounds such as cat, dog, cow, this makes the children guess which animal is inside the box, can also be a car, train , etc
- Song cards with many different well-known and new songs
- At the top of the box are the days of the week that I use to sing "what day is it today" and on the other side the weather, but then I use the same song but sing "what weather is it today"
- Books with as many pictures as possible and some text and not too long.
- Bag with various animals and objects that refer to various songs, the children can draw themselves and say what it is.
Collection boxes come in all kinds of shapes and looks, feel free to share the box you use in your bras so we can all see and be inspired to make something!
