Talk about the importance of sleeping. Ask the children to pretend it's nap time and to sit on their cots with their pillows and blankets as you read the story, I Am Not Going To Get Up Today! by Dr. Seuss. Ask children to talk about their body and what makes them tired or what makes them alert and how they can help their bodies to grow and be healthy. This can be done in small group.
