1 - Getting Started ~3 mins
Watch this toy. How can we make it move without picking it up?
Hands up if you have an idea.
2 - Push or Pull? ~4 mins
Today's words:
Push moves something away from you.
Pull brings something closer to you or along with you.
Which one will start this ball rolling: a push or a pull?
3 - Push and Pull Play ~12 mins
Time to try it yourselves. In your group, use a push on the ball and a pull on your string toy.
Each time, say: was that a push or a pull?
4 - What Did We Notice? ~6 mins
Come back to the carpet. Show us one thing you did. Was it a push or a pull?
5 - Who Uses Pushes and Pulls? ~3 mins
Look at this picture. The builder is pushing a wheelbarrow.
Tell your partner one push and one pull. You can use something from today's play, or the builder, a buggy, or a bag on wheels.
