In the art center, twist paper bags and staple them together to form a beanstalk. Staple green leaves onto the stalk and hang from a high place at one end of the play space. Make a magic line with some masking tape and have children sit on the line. Have the children individually pretend they are Jack and tiptoe quietly towards the beanstalk. At the beanstalk, the child then pretends to climb up. Encourage the child to lift their knees and use their arms while climbing. When you and the other children say, “The Giant is coming!” the child becomes the giant, walking backwards, with large heavy giant steps until he/she is safely back on the magic line.
