Kindergarten is the place where a child is introduced to the world. This is the place where they learn everything. There are so many things that a child can learn in kindergarten like cooking, painting, writing, playing, etc. to give them an idea of all the things they have to do in their lives. If you are a kindergarten teacher and you are lost in new productive activities to teach kids then you should give them a try.
draft activity – Not the simple and boring ones, but the mini one with cute and funny images. You can ask the children to decorate something. You can write a name on a piece of paper and the kids had to draw the line with it. You can also get erasers in different shapes and sizes, such as alphabet erasers. Children will not only find this cute, but will also be able to tell the difference between the shapes through this hands-on experience.
festive teaching – When a festival is coming up, you can tell stories about the festivals and then ask the children to make cards for it. And not just cards, children can spend their time doing many things related to the festival. For example, for the upcoming Christmas, children can draw Santa Claus, make Christmas trees out of cardboard and decorate them with colors. In this way, children will learn about the festival and also practice arts and crafts.
Teach to complete sentences – Here’s another idea. To teach children complete sentences, you can write small, easy words in a sentence on plastic cups and ask them to arrange them in the correct order. Other than that, you can teach them to fill in the blanks. Write sentences on the board, but without words. Make some cards of the missing words along with some extra ones and ask them to choose the correct word.
Cooking – When it comes to cooking, you can teach children many things that do not require a gas stove, such as drinks, batter, cotton candy.
If you teach children to plant trees and make them understand how important plants are to us, it will be a good life lesson for them. They will understand the importance of vegetation and will be interested in the bundle of plants. In this process, they will also understand the difference between types of trees. So all in all it will be a great vibe experience for them.
Teach them to draw shadow art – Many of the children find the shadows very interesting since they do not understand their concept. You must have seen some kid running away from the shadow as it is a bad thing. You can use this interest of children to draw their attention to shadow art. Teach them some physics knowledge about light and how shadow appears and the kid is good to go.
