The whole sea storms - everyone joins in!
“Come on pirates
And all the little mice
Ship ohoy comrades
We are going to sea!”
And all the little mice
Ship ohoy comrades
We are going to sea!”
1. Set up chairs in a ring, one chair for each child involved. Turn the chair backs inwards towards the center of the ring. Tell the children that you are going to play the whole sea of storms and that the chairs are their pirate ships that they will all fit on. Get up and jump all pirates - take your place on the ship and sit on each chair!
2. Put on music and have the children walk around the chairs, remove a chair and then pause the music. Now the children have to help each other so that everyone can fit on the chairs.
3. Turn the music back on and remove another chair. Pause the music again, all the children must be helped to get a place on the pirate ship. Continue like this until there is only one chair left. Can the children manage to help each other so that everyone can fit on ONE chair?
