Exciting Start to Field Day: A Preschool Adventure!

Welcome, Tiny Athletes! 🎉

Today, we are diving into a super fun adventure—Field Day! Get ready to jump, run, and play as we explore all the exciting activities we’ll do together. Before we get started, let’s awaken our bodies and minds with a fun song!

Sing and Move! 🎶

Let’s gather in a circle and sing our special Field Day song. Here are some simple actions you can follow along with:

1. Jump up high (reach for the sky!)
2. Wiggle like a worm (wiggle your arms and legs)
3. Spin around (twirl in place)
4. Run in place (as fast as you can!)
5. Freeze (hold still until I say move again)

Tip: Encourage the children to come up with their own fun movements for each line. This will spark creativity and get everyone excited!

The Story of Field Day 📖

Now that we’re warmed up, let’s gather on our soft mats and sit down for a special story about Field Day!

“Once upon a time in a sunny, bright park, all of the animals were getting ready for their Field Day. The rabbits were hopping with excitement, the turtles were moving slowly but surely, and the birds were flapping their wings in joy. They decided to have fun races, silly games, and yummy snacks! Can you guess what happened?”

Encourage the children to think about what games they would like to play on Field Day.

Spark Their Imagination 💭

After the story, ask the children questions:

• What games do you want to play today?
• What sport do you want to learn about?
• Who will you run with during our Field Day races?

Create an atmosphere of excitement, encouraging kids to share their thoughts and ideas about Field Day activities.
