3. Do a family interview:
    Families can get together and ask questions to each other such as:
    What is your favourite colour/ food/ film/etc?
    Mention something you did that made you proud in your life?
    Mention something you wish you did better?
    If you were granted 3 wishes what would they be?
    Mention something you’d like to learn to do?
   What was the happiest/ scariest/ saddest/ most exciting/ most boring  moment in your life?
Stay safe and regards,

Kindergarten Activity 14 : Practicing number recognition and formation

Fishing Game

Things you will need:

 

  • Number cards (you can cut them in the shape of a fish) with a paperclip attached to the
  • A fishing rod with a magnet attached to it.
  • Some water
  • A container
  • A paint brush

 

This activity should take place outdoors, either in the yard, in the terrace or on the roof.

Place the number cards in a container. Then ask the children to try to catch the cards using the rod. This helps to improve their eye-hand co-ordination. Once they catch the card, they have to say the number written on it.

Then, using the paint brush and water, encourage them to write the numbers on the floor or on the wall. By doing this, the children will enjoy practising pre-writing of numbers.

You can finish the activity by challenging your child and ask him/her why the numbers they have written are vanishing from the floor. Explain the concept of evaporation!

 

Variation:

To make this activity more challenging you can fill in the container with water. In this case the cards should be made of foam sheets or laminated paper.
