1. Poem.
2. Masks to play act the Poem.

Eggs and Chicks are traditional Easter symbols. They represent new life and new beginnings. Christ' resurrection brings hope and the promise of a new life to people. In the northern hemisphere it is spring time when Easter is celebrated.

The children will implement and develop their auditory skills when learning the poem and improve their oral skills when reciting the poem. Intonation and pronunciation will be pacticed when reciting the poem.

When wearing masks the children loose themselves in the character, and this will help them when acting in front of others, improving their confidence!

An Easter Chick:

"What a lovely world", says the baby chick,

"I've stepped from my egg to see !"

"What a lovely chick!" said the happy world,

"The spring has brought to me."

The children said, "God sent her to us,"

And fed her joyfully.

Thirza Weakly.

The children will enjoy an opportunity to "play" act the poem. One child should play act the chick, a few children should act the world and the rest of the group could be the children. The children should take turns to "play" act the chick.
