1. Photocopy the bear sheet – one per
child.
2. Talk about the types of collage materials
you have for them to use and ask the children to touch them. Discuss hard/scratchy/soft/fluffy
textures. Have any of the children ever hurt themselves with textures like
these? Where and when?
3. Collage the bear using cut pieces of
the materials and glue. If possible for the older members, try extending
the activity by asking them to only collage the part of the bear that they
have hurt themselves on before.
4. If possible have some nurse hats ready
for them to pretend to make bear feel better (strips of white paper, draw
red cross on front, measure Childs head and tape strip together) Cut out
the plaster template and cut many from brown paper (or colour of plasters
frequently used in your setting, or alternatively use real ones?)
Who helps the children when they have
hurt themselves and how does that person/toy make things feel better?
Have they or anyone they know ever seen
a Nurse or Doctor ? Why did they and where did they have to go to see them. |
