In Kindergarten, we try not to have the students sit in their seats working on worksheets all day. There's a time and place for worksheets, and sometimes they're necessary, but children learn better when the lesson is "hidden" within play! Here are a few examples ...
We "stirred" a bowl of alphabet soup (magnetic letters), scooped the letters out, and matched them with the letters on a laminated mat.
We played several "count and clip" games. Clipping clothespins also strengthens our finger muscles, which helps with our fine motor skills.
And also count and write ...
Matching puzzle pieces with the correct numeral ...
And working with a friend to count and find the correct numeral ...
The more active we can make learning, the more our students will remember!
