Singing
helps children learn body parts,
learn about
lots of themes, and do different actions. I have lots of songs on
my Children
Songs
Page.
They like nursery rhymes, like action verses, and finger plays.
They love repetition.
Children also learn through
play (especially in their early years). They use
their imagination to have fun and learn about themselves and
what they can do as a person. Let your children play with things that
you have around the house. For example, clothes, toilet paper and paper
towel rolls, empty containers of baby wipes, boxes of all types, hats,
books, old calendars, bean bags (where you have your child toss a bean
bag into a decorated box), balloons (where you play with the balloons
by kicking it around the house), and many more things that are safe for
children to play with. Children also enjoy hands-on
activities. They learn while having fun. You will find
various hands-on learning products and ideas throughout our site.
Make
sure
your
visit
our Theme
page and Hands-on
Learning learning store site.
Children learn more if they
are not forced to do
something. Most of the times (if not all) they will not want to
do it. Let them do what they enjoy to do.
Art: Do crafts that
the children choose how
they want their art project to look like. Put
out paints and different tools (cotton swaps, paint brushes, etc) out. Let the child make his/her own creation (it
will be
different than any other childs work and you won't get bored at looking
at the same thing that is on the wall).
Fun and Games:
Children love to have fun and
do lots of games. Play with bubbles,
have
fun
with
tangrams
, shapes,
etc.
A
child
can
learn
science,
math,
and
more
from
playing.
Integrate
all subjects into one so children will have fun. Children enjoy
using flannel
board
stories.
Other Resources: If
you
are
trying
to
find
a
list
of
what
your
child
or
students
should
know
at
a
certain
age,
go to Typical
Course
of
Study. I feel children learn when they are
ready to
learn something and you shouldn't push them to learn anymore if they
are
not ready to do so. Use it as your guide but you don't have to
follow it exactly since children learn at their own pace. Don't
force them to learn something or they may not want to learn it for
awhile.
