A song with movement that we use as a morning exercise:
LITTLE HANDS HURRYED,
THAT THEY SHOULD LIKE BRANCHES.
TO FLY LIKE BIRDS,
FLAVING LIKE LEAVES.
TO COME TOGETHER WITH APPLAUSE,
TO CIRCLE LIGHTLY,
THEY CHANGE FASTER THE BETTER
ONE UP, ANOTHER DOWN.
CROW, JUMP, CROW, JUMP,
FORWARD, BACK
HE STEPS WITH HIS FOOT.
NOW SPREAD YOUR LEGS AND LOOK THROUGH THEM,
COLLECT, EXPAND, PEEK,
AND THEN SOOTHE THEM LIGHTLY.
BREATHE DEEPLY, FILL YOUR CHEST,
EXERCISE EVERYDAY AND BE HEALTHY.

Encouraging physical activity and active play in preschool children is crucial for their physical, social, and cognitive development. Active play helps children develop gross motor skills, coordination, balance, and strength while promoting teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving.
Here’s a fun and engaging game to encourage physical activity:
Game: Animal Adventure Safari
Objective: Encourage children to move their bodies in different ways while stimulating their imagination.
What You Need:
Open space (indoors or outdoors)
Animal picture cards or a list of animals
Optional: small props like hats or scarves for imaginative play
How to Play:
Set the Scene: Gather the children in a circle and tell them they are going on an "Animal Adventure Safari." Explain that they will explore different parts of the safari, meet animals, and act like them.
Choose an Animal: Show a card or call out an animal. For example:
Lion: “Roar and crawl like a lion!”
Kangaroo: “Hop like a kangaroo!”

Iceland has a lot of sun during the summer, but rain, snow and wind are
usual guest all around the year. Use your climate, nature and
surroundings to practice, walk or just enjoy the outdoors activities.
Here are examples from Iceland:
- Print out the picture of a spider/wasp and put it inside the hula ring.
- Tell kids they should make the shape of a spider using only things
they find in nature and have fun.
- Print out yoga cards with postures. Show kids what to do and try to
stay in a position for 10-15 seconds. Best to have a teacher to show
them and don't forget to breath using only your nose.
As we say, There is no bad weather, just bad clothes. Go outside, sing and
dance in the rain. Let kids enjoy every moment of their childhood.
- Snow is our building material. Make a house or a slide. Jump, roll
and dig but don't forget to laugh.
- Help birds to eat during the long cold winter. Caring about others,
makes you a better person.
