1. Objectives. What do you want the child to know at the end of the day? The song, The actions? At 5 years old, you need at least 3 ovjectives.
2. Materials. Are you letting them hold on to some materials that can create sound? like shakers or little tambourine. Also little pin on costumes if you are having dramatizations or dance.
3. Tuning in. Maybe the lesson is based on a theme, say the very hungry caterpillar. You Can read the book to the children and give them enough knowledge about the lesson ahead.
4. Main activity. You can have a little song singing session based on the book, and they can hold on to shakers, tambourines and sing along. Make sure you sing the song once through to them first. or you can have the children dressed up in teacher made materials, like the fruits and vegetables that the caterpillar ate, the caterpillar and butterfly (how the story went) dramatization. Giving them opportunity to know one another better. But you be the caterpillar.
5. Closure. Ensure that you close the lesson with an activity that can calm them down. Try to avoid jumping or hopping as they might become more active. Maybe you could end the lesson with asking the children some open ended questions or even introduce another song to the children.
