A droplet's journey

Children listen to a story about a water droplet and act out the water cycle in nature.

Steps

1. We read a story about a droplet that evaporates, becomes a cloud, and falls as rain.
2. Children play droplets: crouching (sea), standing up (vapor), joining into a cloud, 'falling'.
3. We draw the water cycle on a large sheet of paper.
4. We talk about how to save water when washing hands.

Tip: Blue cloths will help children get into character as droplets.

Materials needed

• Movement play cloths (1 set)
