Large Group Time (Circle Time #4) Planning Form

Name: Tammy Botts Date: 8 May 2014

Length of large group time: 15 to 20 minutes

Size of group: 15-18 kids Age of children: 4 to 5 year olds

Activities/Purpose:

Activity #1
o First I will ask the kids how many feet they have. What do we wear on our
feet? How long are our feet? Where are our feet?


o I chose this activity because I want them to focus on their feet and the various
silly things we might wear on them or walk on.


Activity #2
o Next, I will introduce and read our book, How Many Feet, by Dr. Suess.


o I chose this activity because I want them to learn how to count and measure.


Activity #3
o Next, I will introduce our small group activity. We will draw on paper the
outline of our feet and cut them out. We will then go about measuring how
many feet high or long things are.


o I chose this activity because its a fun and silly way to learn how to measure
and count things by feet.


Transition Activity
o Finally, I will end my circle time and transition the children by playing, The
Hokey, Pokey game.


o I chose this transition activity because it gets them up and moving after sitting
during the story and allows them some high energy time. I will also dismiss
children during the song at intervals to their next station as we did previous
day.
