LESSON 24: Toy Show
Lesson Focus: Object Relationship
Age Group: 2-3 years old
Duration: 30 minutes
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1. Remember: Hold toys for viewing.
2. Understand: Present toy features.
3. Apply: Perform a toy show presentation with audience awareness.

MATERIALS:

1. Real toys / Visual cue cards (safe, child-sized versions)
2. Drum or hand clapper (for start/stop cues)
3. Floor spots or tape (stage area, audience area, entry/exit path)
4. Optional: toy basket for selection 
5. Powerpoint: 

LESSON PROCEDURES:

1) Begin with Warm-Up (3 minutes)

• Lead gentle stretches with toy-inspired motions (roll arms like a ball, sway like a teddy).
• Introduce the idea: “Today we will show our toys on stage, like a fashion show.”
• Invite children to copy 2 toy-inspired movements.

2) Present Holding for Viewing (5 minutes)

• Model how to hold a toy so the audience can see it clearly (front-facing, lifted slightly).
• Demonstrate awareness of audience view by turning the toy outward.
• Invite children to practice holding toys for viewing.

3) Demonstrate Presenting Toy Features (6 minutes

• Point to visible features of each toy (colour, shape, size, texture, sound).
• Narrate with simple language: “This teddy is soft. Look at its round ears.”
• Invite children to present toy features by pointing and naming.
   

4) Facilitate Final Toy Show Presentation (12 minutes)

• Cue each child with a chime to move to the middle of the stage.
• Guide them to: 
  • Hold the toy outward for audience viewing.
  • Point to and talk about toy features.
  • Share a short toy story or character moment.
• Cue with chime for exit after presentation.
• Remind teachers to create a fashion show vibe: 
  • Encourage confident walking to the middle.
  • Remind audience to clap after each presentation.
  • Narrate with energy: “Here comes the teddy, showing off its soft ears!”
• Invite children to perform in sequence, learning stage awareness and audience focus.

5) Lead Cool-Down and Reflection (4 minutes)

• Guide calming breaths with toy imagery: “Blow like a car horn… sigh like a teddy.”
• Ask reflection prompts: “Which toy did you show?” “What did your toy do?”
• Invite children to share their favourite toy show moment.

ASSESSMENT

• Observe if children hold toys correctly for audience viewing.
• Check if children present toy features with pointing and naming.
• Assess if children perform toy show presentations with audience awareness and confidence.

REMARKS

• Ensure final presentation follows teacher cues: chime → move to middle → show toy → present features → share story → cue exit.
• Encourage audience awareness by reminding children to face outward and hold toys clearly.
• Make the Toy Show feel like a fashion show: confident stage walk, spotlight narration, audience clapping.
• Adapt actions for seated or simplified versions.
• Use freeze signal consistently; narrate positive examples (“I see clear toy showing!”).
• Differentiate: 
  • Emerging learners: hold and name one feature.
  • Advanced learners: present features and tell a short toy story.
• Pre-cue transitions (“Ready to show in 3-2-1”).
