Step 1: Transition Video
Gather Kids to the Circle

Transition videos can help gather kids and set the mood for circle time. I suggest playing a short, colorful and energetic video like "Hello Hello How Are You" by The Kiboomers.

Moving to music or songs is valuable for various reasons, especially in early childhood education and development. This video will get the children excited about the upcoming lesson.
Step 2: Main Lesson
"Hey Diddle Diddle" Video

For the main lesson, you can use an educational video that showcases "Hey Diddle Diddle."

A great choice would be "Hey Diddle Diddle" Song with Miss Jessica & Coach Kody. This video is both entertaining and educational, making it an ideal choice for teaching the nursery rhyme. Encourage children to sing along and follow the lyrics and dance moves.
Step 3: Felt Board Activity
(10-15 minutes)

Use the "Hey Diddle Diddle" Felt Set with a felt board. Have the children engage in a hands-on activity where they can use the felt pieces to reenact the song.

Encourage them to create their own scenarios and tell the story of the cat, cow, dog, dish and spoon.

Step 4: Exit Song Video

To wrap up circle time, choose an exit song video to signal the end of the lesson. "Goodbye Song for Kids" by The Singing Walrus is a popular choice. A kid's favorite with a friendly tune that helps transition preschoolers out of the circle time activity and head home.

By following these steps, you can create an engaging and educational circle time activity centered around "Hey Diddle Diddle" that incorporates transitions, video lessons, interactive play, and a pleasant conclusion.
