Lights & Sounds

W walked into the Pine room and noticed the flashlights on the table. 

"It's a light!"

He turned it on and giggled. W began to shine the light around the room. 

The others saw the flashlights and expressed interest in playing with the flashlights. 

"It needs to be dark!"

We found a sheet and draped it over the end of the table. 

B crawled under the table with a flashlight in hand. At first he turned the light on and looked straight at the bulb, he blinked, then pointed it at the underside of the table. B laughed and began wiggling the flashlight around. 

M wandered under the table and pointed his flashlight on the sheet. He moved his hand in front of the light. 

"It's a shadow!"

He continued to wiggle his fingers around and watched the shadow fingers mimic his movement. M erupted in giggles which attracted all of the other kids to run under the table. 

Within the next few seconds, everyone broke out into song!

In the two videos above you can see how the kids were singing a rendition of "the wheels on the bus." As they sang about the wheels in particular, they moved the lights faster and faster to demonstrate the wheels turning on the bus. 

Such a fun way to use flashlights!
