Pizza Party

[MommyMuffin]

So I am planning a pizza party next week. All I have is that the kids will make their own pizzas. is there anything else I can do that would go along with this?

I thought of looking for a book about pizzas at the library. I also thought of having them make their own chef hats. But how? anyone have a template?

Pizza stretching

Basically the children sit in a circle and you lead them in pretending to make their own pizza between their legs. First you make the crust from scratch the flour is at the right foot and water at the left ect. Then you toss it in the air. When you put topping on it the cheese is on the tippy top shelf so you have t reach high for it. This is really a visual thing I hop you get the picture.

We made art pizzas out of construction paper. Used a paper plate and cut out pizza toppings. They used glue and picked which toppings they wanted, then made their pizza.

Here's a song

"This is the Way we Make a Pizza Pie"
(original author unknown)
Sung to the tune of "Here we go Round the Mulberry Bush"

This is the way we mix the dough, mix the dough, mix the dough
This is the way we mix the dough to make a pizza pie. (mixing motion)

Continue with the following verses:
This is the way we knead the dough... (kneading motion)
This is the way we roll the dough... (rolling motion)
This is the way we toss the dough... (tossing motion)
This is the way we spread the sauce... (spreading motion)
This is the way we sprinkle the cheese... (sprinkling motion)
This is the way we bake the pizza! (pantomime putting pizza in over)

Ending Verse:
This is the way we eat the pizza! (pantomime eating)

Very cute! We've done English Muffin Pizzas - easy peasy with mozzerella and sauce. We had sliced olives to put on it and pepperoni.

We've also done the paper pizzas - they come out really cute.

I love the songs!
