Read Rocks Hard, Soft, Smooth, and Rough by Natalie Rosinsky. Collect a variety of textured rocks for the children to sort. Have the children form a circle and place baskets in the middle. Label the baskets Hard, Soft, Smooth, Rough. Play “This Is How We Rock” by the Learning Station. Have the children pass a rock around the circle. When the music stops, the child holding the rock calls out the texture of the rock and places it in the correct basket. Control the music so every child has a turn. This could be done in large group.
