This is the way we brush our hair
Learning objectives
To practise dressing and undressing independently, and manage personal hygiene
Resources
Dressing-up clothes - you will need three to four items for each child, chosen according to age and ability of the children
Introductory phase
Tell the children that they are going to mime getting up and dressing. Ask them to tell you what they do and in what order, then talk them through the mimes.
Middle phase
Put the dressing-up clothes in the centre of the circle. Specify to the children what they have to find and put on, for example, a hat, a jumper, skirt/trousers and a jacket. Tell the children that you want to see how quickly they can find and put on the items.
