The New Suggested Large Group Weekly Plans for UPK contain songs and activities to support the ideas presented in the Small Group Lessons for the week. It is recommended that one day of the week is a "Choice Day" where children choose their favorites from the classroom songbook to use in the Middle Section.

Each of the weekly plans contains:

An "Easy to Join" Activity, where all students can easily join an engaging, energy-building activity designed to draw students to the carpet to share ideas
A Middle section of Nursery Rhymes, Instrument and Material Introductions, and Song Cards teachers can choose from
Calming Activities to End, which focus children's breath, movement, and energy, preparing them to move to the next part of the Daily Routine with greater ease.
