It costs money to run a free website: our server costs alone are £400 per month. Last year we had 40,000 visitors to the site from whom we received only £40 in donations. We are not currently receiving any other income. At this rate, we will run out of money in the next few months and the site will be forced to close.
Please make a minimum donation of £5 to keep the site going. Thank you

|---|---|---|
| Welcome | Sing a welcome song or gently tap a drum and say the names of children as you welcome all the children to the group or use a puppet to welcome children with a wave etc. | Being a good singer is not important. You just need to enjoy the activity ! Other forms of welcome are fine if singing is not for you! |
| Define group rules | Use pictures to make things clear. | |
| Singing a song A song choosing board with pictures to represent the songs you want to sing velcroed onto a board | Use lots of gesture and facial expression. Repetition is important and children like it. | |
| A story activity | Same approach as for the singing activity. | |
| Good bye time |
