They can then paint them and use them in tossing games or parachute games to promote motor skills.īalls Theme Ideas for Your Library and Literacy Activities for your Preschool Classroom Have the children help make balls from felt. Put a little bit of water or sand in the bottom and provide heavy balls to roll!įelt Balls Thank you, Wendy R., for this idea! Rather than purchasing a plastic bowling set, why not make your own instead with the children? Collect 2 liter plastic bottles or 1/2 gallon plastic milk containers. Be sure the floor is padded and the activity is supervised. Provide large exercise balls for the children to use! They lay their belly on the top, feet on the floor and try to balance on them.
That help build their muscles while they have fun together The children are going to create their own ball! My thought was for them to have a circle shape and create their own design on the circle so they are creating a design on the circle (ball) shape. More Than Just Painting (Although that is always THE favorite in our classroom!) Provide a cash register, paper and pens for receipts, bags for purchases!
Provide boxes with different balls for the children to sell in their store.

Snack Recipe Ideas to Cook Up for Your Theme!Ĭooking with children helps develop their math skills and helps them to learn how to follow directions. That means it's time for you to _(sing activity here.get jacket on, go to interest centers, wash your hands, etc.) When they are "Out" in this song, they go to choose their next activity, or got get their jacket on, etc. If you do this, a great time would be when dismissing them from circle to go to another activity. I am not a fan of games for preschoolers where they are "OUT", as this song suggests. You pass the ball while singing the song. Tell the children to only choose a friend who has NOT had a turn yet! That child then names a friend's name and rolls the ball to them.
Only that child should reach for the ball. Name a child's name and roll the ball to that child. Return to Top Balls Theme Circle Time IdeasĬircle Time is such a great time for children to learn the social skills of being together as a large group AND to learn more about your theme!Īlthough this may be something you do at the beginning of the year, it is always nice to revisit each others' names! The children will figure out how to transport the balls to the different parts of the block area!
Provide paper towel tubes and other cylinder shaped blocks to the block area as well as balls that will fit in the tubes. Play games with their yarn balls or hang from the ceiling. (Optional: sprinkle glitter on them before they dry!). They wrap the yarn around the balloon and brush more glue on it. Materials: yarn, watered down glue, small balloons, brushes
