Have you said "You're a great helper!" to a child today?
Froggy in the Middle
kids!
Have kids stand in circle pick one child to be the "froggy". The Froggy gets into the middle and jumps around like a frog while the kids in the circle clap their hands and sing: There's a froggy in the middle and she(or he) can't get out, she can't get out, she can't get out. There's a froggy in the middle and she can't get out let's give a hand and help her out. When one of the kids helps her out, that one goes inside.
This works great for me after story time to get the kids to wash their hands for lunch. After the froggy makes it out, they go and wash their hands.
