songs
games (eg find me something blue, who can see something beginning with 's' etc)
discussions (tell me what you do at home, talk about favourite toys, food etc)
there is a lot you can do depending on what age group you are dealing with

With babies lots of action songs. Read books that have lots of words to make into sound effects.
You can explore tastes & textures. Musical instruments.

With older children incorporate colours shapes etc into songs. Play matching games. Find it games. Group time can be discussion time with the 3-5 age group. Show & tell etc.

- Felt Stories

- Hand Puppets (for singing songs, action rhymes etc).

- Mind Maps (for older children).

You can check out the following topic from our forum for more ideas:

Discussions with children at mat time

In Resources, you will find Children's Activities and Games which will provide you with a range of activities/experiences which you can implement during group time.

Hope this helps,
