* To have fun together.
How to play
* Explain to the children that they are going on holiday. They may go by plane, running with arms spread out, or they may go by car, running and turning the driving wheel.
* Children listen as you say, 'We're going on holiday. We're going by plane.' When they hear 'by plane', they make the action until you say stop. You then start again, changing the ending to 'by car'.
* Once children understand the game, introduce the words, 'We're not going on holiday.' When they hear this, they have to stand still.
