Easter revision game

(by Sharon Stone )

Make a large card drawing of a vase with 8 stems coming from it.

On separate and different colored card, make 8 flower head shapes. Laminate them.

Stick them to the stems with blu-tac.

On the back of each flower, put a strip of paper with the name of the songs you want to sing.

INSTRUCTIONS: Have a child stand 3 steps away from the 'garden' poster. Mark each step with a card strip (1,2 and 3). For every correct answer, (all the children can prompt the child) they move to the next step, closer to the poster. On the 3rd step, they should be in front of the flower pot and be able to take a flower off the stem. (You can use 8 children- one for each group of questions)
