Circle game (mix up)

These can be used to mix the children up during circle time. Print, laminate and cut into individual cards. Deal out the cards to the children and they must find the child who completes their pair. They then sit next to them.

Christmas Advent

Print for each child in the class. They can draw a small Christmas picture for each day in December...or you could use as a sticker chart. They have to be good each day up until Christmas and could be rewarded a sticker each day.

Worry dolls

Worry dolls (Spanish: Muñecas quitapenas, "Dolls [that] remove worries"),[1] or trouble dolls, are very small and colorful dolls traditionally made in Guatemala.[2] A person (usually a child) who cannot sleep due to worrying can express their worries to a doll and place it under their pillow before going to sleep. Some medical centers use them in conjunction with treatment for disease in children.[3][4] According to folklore, the doll is thought to worry in the person's place, thereby permitting the person to sleep peacefully. The person will wake up without their worries, which have been taken away by the dolls during the night. Parents may remove the doll during the night, reinforcing the child's belief that the worry is gone. Some parents involve the child in making the dolls to further increase the psychological benefits of releasing worries, and instructions may be found online.

This could be a nice PSHE/Seal activity.

Here are some instructions I have found to make them...
