It landed on my shoulder It landed on my elbow! It landed on my tummy! It landed on my knee! It landed on my foot! Oh! It flew away!” (Throw birds up in the air). Switch-Up: Have caregivers pretend to be the scarecrow, and the child has the crow. “Can your crow land on your scarecrow?” The child flies the crow onto the caregiver’s head, shoulder, feet, etc. Final switch: “Now the scarecrow wants to catch the crow!” The caregiver gently tries to “catch” the flying crow while the child flies it around saying, “Caw! Caw! Caw!” Source: My creation. |
