Crafts, Clipart & Role play - Activity ideas linked to the six areas of learning

Firstly Clipart ! - If you are going to make your own recipe sheets and would like some clipart to put on your documents - please visit Silky's page PICTURES HERE and pick up some ingredients pictures!


Mathmatical Development
Pancake number games - cut circles of brown paper and number them 1 - 10 (more if needed!)
Have some frying pan shapes (1 or more) cut from card and let the children stack the pancakes in numerical order onto the frying pans.

Physical Development
Pancake tossing races. See if the pancakes can be tossed during the race ..

Communication Language Literacy
Talk to the children during circle time about Pancakes. The ingredients used, whether they are going to have some at home.

Creative Development
Crafts
1. Make paper pancakes - on a circle of brown paper use collage materials that resemble fillings that could be put onto a pancake - talk to the children in about the types of toppings they could use ..use fruit pictures from gardening magazines, cut out and paste on!

Chocolate sauce = Brown poster paint in a small squeezy bottle!

2. Sew a pancake by cutting a small circle in brown felt.
Sew together the outer edge but leave the top open so that strawberry/lemon/kiwi/shaped felt or paper shapes can be pushed into the top.

Music/Rhyme

5 golden pancakes, cooking in a pan
Toss them up and catch them if you can......
Along came .... (child's name) with a plate and spoon
took a golden pancake and then left the room!!!

Continue with 4 golden pancakes.....

RolePlay
Have paper chef's hats and white aprons in your home corner,
Bowls, spoons, whisks, jugs, plates, frying pans etc for the children to play at being in a bakery and cooking/tossing the pancakes!

Knowledge & understanding of the World
Use Magical's PDF to explain how the pancakes were made, cooked then eaten !

Personal Social Emotional
:candle: Likes and dislikes! Which topings and fillings do the children prefer?
:candle: Let the children wash up a few of the dishes after cooking the pancakes, to show them how it is good practice to clean and look after the equipment.
