How I use Bella
I use a Bella adventure in the last 10 mins of class, however you may want the adventure to weave it's way right from the beginning. It's flexible, so you choose what's right for you.
I use one adventure per week for the duration of a 12 week term, repeating the adventures every term. The children never tire of them, even when they know what's coming! The intro verse to each adventure is always the same and you find the children start to memorise it and say it with you!
Children of all ages love Bella the Butterfly but it works best for children up to the age of 6. I use it for pre-school and Reception age classes and as an occasional treat for older children, who still ask for it!
The stories work for both boys and girls. They love trying to guess where they are going to fly to each week, looking for Bella on the first page of the book, or singing the words to the Bella theme as she takes them flying. Some of the music has extended versions to accommodate steps performed one by one from the corner.
How you can use Bella
Any way you wish! You can follow the adventure plans to the letter, or you may want to pick and choose different parts of it. There is so much flexibility to this resource. It can supplement your classes perfectly.
Also once a child has engaged with Bella and her adventures, then there is the opportunity for you to buy the soft toy wholesale and then sell on to your parents. This then presents an additional income stream for your School which is always helpful!
If you purchase the Bella resource you will receive a link to download the music and adventure plans, then the book and soft toy will be sent to you through the post. If you need more books/ soft toys for your teachers then we can arrange this and please enquire.
