Preschool Lessons
As you prepare your preschool lessons, it is important to provide open ended lessons for your preschoolers. This allows them to use their imaginations which is so key for this age.
There are no right or wrong answers when you introduce reasoning activities in your preschool lessons; this ensures success for all of your students. Their answers are unique to them and provide you an insight as to how they are experiencing and perceiving the world around them.
Reasoning/Thinking Skills
Assign half yours students an animal, but tell them their animal is a secret. Try to avoid overlapping animals so that there is no confusion. For the other half of the students, give them an animal that they are trying to find. For example, one student will be assigned a dog and a corresponding student will be assigned to find the dog. The students looking for a particular animal must go around to the students who have an animal and ask them questions to get the answers they need. However, students may not ask directly, “Are you a dog?”
Students can get creative in their questions, asking things like, “Do you walk on 4 legs?” or “Do you have a tail?” The students assigned to each animal must answer the questions honestly but not give away too much information.
This activity should be done actively, with students moving around the room to ask their questions. It will tie into the previous story by making students ask questions about the habits of their pets, which is something talked about in "Tails Are Not for Pulling" preschool lesson plan.
Going on a Trip
Set up the chairs in the classroom in rows like an airplane cabin. Tell the class that you are going to the United States or pick a city in the US. You can give out pretend tickets and then show them on the map where they are going. Play music the people listen to in that area. Talk about what they will see there, what kind of food they will eat, is it the same or different from what they eat? (This is an activity which you can do over and over each time for a different country or location. The children love their pretend trips and never tire of this activity.)
Often travel agencies have posters of countries or special places that they will give to you for free to decorate the classroom and to help set the stage for your preschool lessons.
