This Five Little Ducks circle time activity explores feelings of having lost something. Adult-led with an easy to follow structure, this resource provides regular opportunities for discussion, with suggested questions around children's own feelings and the feelings of others. Our practical and engaging activity includes the re-enactment of the nursery rhyme, encouraging children to develop their understanding of different emotions.

It covers the following objectives for children in reception:

Express their feelings and consider the feelings of others.

Think about the perspectives of others


Curriculum Objectives

  • Show an understanding of their own feelings and those of others, and begin to regulate their behaviour accordingly
  • Give focused attention to what the teacher says, responding appropriately even when engaged in activity, and show an ability to follow instructions involving several ideas or actions
