Climbing Up or Down the Tree Worksheet Start We all have a tree That's our house We sleep soft on a bed of leaves The bird songs wakes us We open our eyes very slowly We rub our eyes We stretch out as far as we can We wash our faces We wash our bodies We put on lotion We put on our clothes We brush our teeth until they are shining We start climbing down the tree On the ground we shake our legs We look around and see that we are not alone We are with our group of friends We say hallo to each other We are ready to have fun End Well it is time to say goodbye to all our friends and to go back home We wave everybody goodbye And climb in our tree, higher and higher We get ready to sleep We are safe in our tree house It is all quiet, everybody sleeps You may close your eyes and have happy dreams. 2) Feeling thermometer Aim: To identify, share and verbalise feelings Materials needed: Thermometer (large cardboard with thermometer outline.
