Pre-literacy skills: draw the letter S. Start at the top. Swoop over. Swirl down. Swoop under. and Stop!
Activity: Following the leader. We sang and played In And Out The Dusty Bluebells with the words changed:

In and Out, Around our friends -
In and Out, Around our friends -
Who will be my partner?
(At this point the leader holds hand with the nearest child and starts going again. We kept it to one verse for simplicity. Full instructions and music can be found here. Big thanks to Let's Play Kids Music.com for supplying the directions and music to this fun activity.
