over 8 years

Hi hello.

So, I've started working at a preschool (summerjob) and was wondering if you delightful souls have any ideas for activities I can do with the kids. I already have some ideas such as treasurehunting and baking, but I need moar!

Very thankful for serious suggestions.

Do you like kids?

I volunteered in a kindergarten class like 2 years ago for the kids last few days of school so I can tell you the stuff that we did.

I remember I had to read them stories and poems, they put on a movie for them at one point. They had a box of instruments like xylophones and tamborines, basically any small percussion instrument you can think of. Also you can never go wrong with sports, the class that i was with really enjoyed soccer but with sports you have to be careful not only because of potential injuries but also because it gets really dramatic, I remember they stopped mid-game to complain about their teams and they had to switch teams like 4 times before we stopped.

I hope I explain this right but I also remember a class game we used to play in elementary school, there was this one game called seven up and basically everyone put their heads down on their desk so they couldnt see anyone around them and the teacher would tap seven students' shoulders and they would be 'it'. Once the teacher picked the seven students the teacher would tell us and then those students that were picked had to go to the front of the class and everyone else would have to put their heads back down. Those seven students would tap one person, the person would raise one of their hands up to confirm that they know they were chosen, and the student who was up would go back to the front once they picked someone. Once everyone was done picking everyone would raise their heads and the people who were chosen would stand up and one by one guess who picked them and if they guessed correctly then they would switch places. Idk if that would be too complicated but it's an idea! Good luck!

do an album. game: ballons tied to shoes and they have to pop other's balloons while trying to not get theirs popped.

tell them stories and make crafts of the story's characters, a puppet show, theatre act...

if theyre old u can make them read. ive seen someone suggested playing mafia, but its complicated. you can play the game with only one assassin and if you want you can make the assassin be able to make an accomplice to make the game longer.


How the heck do I tie a balloon to shoes?

Also we do tell them stories.

And they can't read D:

you can also play a game with cloths or scarfs or similar put as a tie behind the kids and they are all part of a team. each team has a color (the color of the cloths) and have a base. they have to attack the other team to get them out their base while trying to catch their tail. if ur tail has been catched, you can sit on ur base which is a safe space, or reach a deal with any of the other team by going to their base by for example bringing two of their tails for your tail etc




Oh yes I used to play this, super fun :D

with a clothspin you can make:

- one in the middle, has to guess where the pin is while the people in the circle pass it arround.

- someone has the pin, if this person says ur name and asks something and you do, you get the pin. at the end of the week who has the pin is punished.

- make a puppet or any other craft, really.

theres the clock game, with a rope someone (preferably you) spin around while they have to jump. if they jump on the rope or fail to do so, they get eliminated.

make them paint each other's faces lol. there was this program called one minute to win it it has fun challenges, you could turn some of them into group challenges
