Repetition helps make your baby feel safe and learning increases. Bringing out a special hand puppet and sing and tickle ‘Hello my little friend’ at the beginning of your activity each time signals to your infants that play-time is about to begin.

Bingo (Be kind to each other) I Like to Help My Family
Say ‘hello’ to each baby while smiling and looking into their eyes say: “Hello my little friend! It makes me happy to see you today!” Get close enough so that they see the joy on your face. Sing: Good Morning and tickle or snuggle each child with puppet. Give each baby a little felt Bible. “The Bible tells us that Jesus loves us sooo much! Sing: I Open My Bible Carefully and The Bible is for Me! As you put th!e Bibles in the basket or have the children put their bible in the basket, immediately hand out the scarves … gently wave them as you hand them to the children. Sing: Jesus Loves Me! Wave the scarf back into the basket and hand the little softie lambs to the children. I can be kind to the soft little lamb … You can help take care of the little lambs too! Sing: I’ll Take Turns. Allow time for children to exploring their little lambs gently talk about being kind to the little lambs. Bring out the soft trucks, dolls or your choice of safe toys and put away lambs or leave the lambs as options with the other toys. We can be kind to each other by sharing our toys. Say: Let’s share toys with each other … (child’s name) here is a little doll for you … Thank you for being kind! Say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ as you play with the children. Sing: I’ll my Only One. ‘Thank you’ for being kind to one another! Scoop up the toys and say: I have lots of dollies … and you have none. I’ll share my dollies with you! Hand out dollies Sing: Sharing Song. As the children are cuddling their dollies bring out the rattles and shakers and Sing: Be Kind to each other to the tune of Bingo. ‘Thank you’ for being kind to one another. Say: ‘Please’ help me clean up our play area. Help children clap their hands as you say: ‘I like to help my family, I like to help my family, I like to help my family, I loooove my family! sing: Play-time is Over while picking up the toys and waving Good-bye. Good bye little toys, Good bye soft carpet, Good bye my little friends! Thank you Jesus for my little friends!
Be kind to each other Be kind to each other Be kind to each other This makes Jesus (mommy, grandma, grandpa, daddy, teacher) happy!
Chant: I Like to Help My Family I like to help my family, I like to help my family, I like to help my family, I loooove my family! (clap your hands and finish by saying ‘yea!’)
Play-time is Over Our happy play-time is over; and we are cleaning up! Good-bye, good-bye put all the toys away Good-by, good-bye Be always kind and true (Wave good-by to the toys “bye-bye toys, bye-bye soft carpet…)
