HUMPTY DUMPTY ( LAURA GONZÁLEZ)

 I propose below some activities related to the well-known rhyme Humpty Dumpty, which have been thought for a group of students of third grade of Preschool or first year of Primary Education.

Firstly, I will present the characters of the rhyme to my students with a magic bag, so they will begin to make predictions of what is inside the bag. I will take out an object of the magic bag, and it will be some lego blocks and I will ask the kids what we can build with those blocks, and among the options they might propose a wall! Then, I take another object, in this case it is a boiled egg whose name is Humpty Dumpty! And after it, I take out some horses and some knights.

Now that the kids are familiar with the different characters of the rhyme, I am going to say the rhyme slowly like it was a poem and meanwhile I will be using the characters from the magic bag to interpret it. The second time, I will sing the song for them and use the objects of the characters to illustrate it. Then we will all sing the rhyme watching the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrv495corBc

After it, the kids are going to colour and cut out some pictures of the characters of the rhyme and we will glue behind them a paper straw so as to create their own puppets of the rhyme.

Then, we will listen and act out the rhyme twice,using the puppuets and making some gestures and actions of the characters so they will be imitating the actions and movements that I do.

Finally, I will divide the kids in groups and each time a group will come to the front of the class, and we all be singing the rhyme and the members of the group will be acting out the rhyme, doing the actions, gestures and movements that we have practised and using the puppets that they have created.

To end up with the rhyme, the kids can complete a sheet where they have to look at four pictures, cut them out and glue them in the correct order of appearance in the rhyme.
