1 - Getting Started ~3 mins
Look! This little toy is moving… but nobody is holding it. How did it start to go?
What do you think made it move?
2 - What Makes a Toy Go? ~4 mins
Toys need something to help them go. Look at our four toys. What do you notice? What do you think each one needs?
3 - Toy Station Play ~13 mins
We will try our toys together. When it is your turn, try the toy gently. When it is not your turn, watch closely. Be ready to show or say: wind, switch, or push.
4 - What Did We Notice? ~5 mins
Come back to the circle. Which toy did we try? Show us with your hands: wind, switch, or push. What made the toy go?
5 - Make-sense Talk ~3 mins
Different toys start in different ways. Some we wind. Some we switch on. Some we push.
Point to a toy. Is it wind, switch, or push? Which of our toys would you like to play with, and how does it go?
