"Working Together for Success"
Activity 1
Explore the uncooked popcorn in a bowl.
Can you feel it?
Can you move it with your fingers?
Can you feel it dropping onto you hand?
Listen to this gentle music as you explore...
Activity 2
Cut a circle out of old paper, enough to cover a plastic cup.
Add some unpopped corn,
cover with the paper, and hold the paper on with a rubber band (or tape).
Now hold and shake the cup... what does it sound like?
Activity 3
Now get an adult to pop some of the corn, in a lidded pan with a spoon of oil.
WHEN IT IS COLD put some into the wooden bowl and explore it.. see how it has changed?
Can you smell it?
Can you grasp it?
Activity 4
Now make another shaker, with the popped corn.
Shake it and see if it sounds the same or different to your first shaker?
Activity 5
Have fun with your shakers, play along to the music with your family!
