What you need:

  • various bowls of water
  • diving goggles
  • towels
  • sweets
  • hair gel and hair spray
  • hairdryer
  • combs and brushes

Let's start...

Instructions

There are different water bowls in the room and two "barber's chairs". The water has a different depth in each bowl. The deeper the bowl, the more sweets are placed on the bottom.

Each child who comes in can choose whether they want to eat sweets and from which bowl. If they only want to wet their mouth and nose, they can take one sweet from the shallow bowl. If they stick their whole head in a deep bowl, getting their hair wet, they can take three sweets. If they want to wear diving goggles while searching for sweets on the bottom, that's possible too!

After getting their sweets, they immediately receive a dry towel for their head and can sit in the barber's chair. Here, there are two or more helpers who will dry their hair with a hairdryer, and then set their hair with gel or hairspray.

This activity is a fun way to engage children while they wait for the programme to start. It could also serve as an icebreaker or introduction to the theme of the day.
