Procedure (32-45 minutes)
With the hello song we introduce each student to the class aswell as the teachers, This song never changes it stays the same throughout each lesson. This teaches each student the names of their friends that is with them in the lesson. This song is followed by our how are you today song, this introduces the group to feelings they might have. Happy, sad, excited or angry.
By using flashcards of healthy foods e.g fruits vegetables and healthy actions like washing our hands and going for a walk we explain to each child why it is important. Then we do the same with unhealthy things, like eating fatty foods and not washing our hands showing them the difference between the two.
We sing Twinkle twinkle little star using the star shape, after the song we show them the square, cırcle and triangle shapes. That is followed by a game where they each get a chance to choose one of the three shapes. They have to come forward one by one and match the shape they chose with it's pair. This is followed with the rainbow song we sing together again using examples of each color used in the song (Red, yellow, pink, green, purple, orange, blue). We introduce each colour and give each student a chance to choose one of the colours, after choosing a colour they get up indivıdually and go look around in the classroom and find something that matches the color they picked and bring it forward to show their friends.
We start again with a song, introducing monday-Sunday. After singing the song together we change the calender to the correct day. That is followed by our weather song, introducing sunny, cloudy/windy, raining and snowing. İn a group discussion we decide together what the weather is like today.
Each day a different craft activıty is prepared before the lesson: Monday- as a group we make a colage of healthy and unhealthy food.

Thursday- We place pıctures of healthy and unhealthy actıons (washıng hands etc.) as a group. Friday- We fill our fruıt baskets with fruits.
