Sing it to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell."
It's time to wash our hands,
It's time to wash our hands,
Because we want clean hands,
It's time to wash our hands.
Instructions
Fold 9" x 12" black construction paper in half vertically and trim the top third
edge to resemble a Gothic (pointed) arch, similar to a stained glass window in
a cathedral.
l Cut 1" construction paper squares, triangles, and rectangles in assorted colors.
What to Do
1. Show the children the pictures of stained glass windows. Tell them that when
the workers made the windows, they put lead between the small pieces of
glass to make the picture.
2. Give each child a piece of black paper cut to resemble a Gothic window.
3. Encourage the children to glue the small shapes to the black paper. Explain that
they can make their own pictures look like the ones you showed them if they
leave a space between the shapes when they glue them on.
Assessment
To assess the children's learning,
consider the following:
l Ask the children to describe the
images they have made.
l Can the children name the colors
of the small shapes?
