What to do:
- tell children
they are going for a ride in their motorboats
- everyone spreads
out into own space
- make sure everyone
understands what a motorboat is
- put on life jackets,
get in, fasten seat belts, key in the ignition and START YOUR MOTOR
- grab the steering
wheel and DRIVE
- follow leader
cues and move around play space
- "Motor
boat, motor boat, goes so slow
- Motor boat,
motor boat, goes so fast!
- Motor boat,
motor boat, step on the gas
- But don't
you crash!"
- continue play
until children are tired or lose interest
- park boats in
designated area of playspace, undo seatbelts, take keys out, climb out,
take off life jackets, pick up boats...
- THROW THEM OVER
YOUR SHOULDERS! (really silly and really fun to do)
