Preschool lesson plan - doctor?

We Answered:

Get a big cardboard box (asda usually let you have what they get bulk things in, if you ask someone nicely!) and make it into an ambulance. If you have an outdoor play house, you can turn that into a hospital or doctor's surgery.

Can you help me with my preschool lesson plan?

We Answered:

How about mixing a few of those ideas together? I was going to say a version of charades...but I also know that kids love the "freeze" song. So why not start the lesson out with learning how to stop their bodies quickly to the actual Freeze song. Then maybe read a book about different jobs and have them show you how they would move for each job...and then play more music and stop the music-saying Freeze! and then show a picture or say a occupation and all the children perform that action. Then turn the music on again and repeat.

Just a comment: in a PE lesson...30 minutes isn't just the activity...it's the warm up, the actual activity, and the cool down...so that will help break it up for you and not seem so overwhelming! Maybe the cool down could be each child laying on their backs and relaxing each part of their body and then as a transition to line up you call one child at a time and they tell you what they would like to be when they grow up and why and then they head to the designated line up area.

preschool lesson plan ideas for a Texas Theme for all learning centers?

We Answered:

You could have a unit about the history of the state, cowboys, animals, rodeos, etc. Here are some activities:

For finger painting you can make bluebonnet flowers (Texas state flower) out of fingerprints. Just draw a stem then place blue fingerprints on each side.

For story time, have a pretend picnic around a pretend campfire and read your favorite Texas or cowboy story. I love The Legend of the Bluebonnet: An Old Tale of Texas by Tomie dePaola.

For a song, dress the kids up with cowboy hats and bandanas and sing to the Tune of "I'm A Little Teapot:

I'm a little cowboy. Here's my hat (point to your hat)
Here are my spurs (point to your heels).
Here are my chaps (hit your hands on thighs)
When I get up, I work all day
Get on my horse and ride away (galloping motion)

If you are going to be studying other states, check out this resource book about all 50 states:

Preschool Lesson Plan, with Scissors. Questions.?

We Answered:

Start by talking about safety while using scissors. With the children make a list of "How we use our scissors safely."

Q) How to we pass scissors?
A) Always pass handle first - scissors are sharp. Always pass with the scissors closed - scissors are sharp.

Q) Whose scissors do we use?
A) Only use childrens 'blunt end' scissors, not the teachers scissors - scissors are sharp.

Q) How to we carry scissors?
A) Never run with scissors - scissors are sharp

Q) Why do we use scissors?
A) Scissors are a tool, not a toy - scissors are sharp. You need a grown up with you when you use scissors - scissors are sharp

(hopefully by this time they are hoining in with the punch line)

Q) Where do we use scissors?
A)Tables are the best place to use scissors - scissors are sharp


Q) How do we hold scissors to use them?

A) Establish where your preschoolers are with their development of using scissors. Do they 'hedge cut' (cut using two hands)? Do they cut with the scissors but hold them upside down? Do they hold them correctly?

When teaching children to cut, first demonstrate how to hold scissors. Show the child how to place your thumb in the upper hole, and your first two fingers (index and middle) in the lower hole. Have the child practice picking up and holding the scissors

After the children have mastered picking up the scissors, teach them how to “snip. Use playdough for a cutting medium. This is the best for beginners as well as experienced scissor cutters. Playdough allows for a successful cut each time.

Move onto thin cardboard (the thickness of a cereal box) next. This will continue to give your preschooler the success they need, to continue to be a skilled cutter. Card is easier for a young child to cut then paper. Children can color the card with crayons before cutting.

Develop cutting skills next by drawing simple large shapes like circles, squares and triangles on a piece of thin card for preschooler to cut out.

Cut regular paper. This is the final step. Paper should be used when your preschooler is able to hold the scissor upright and successfully cut one of the other mediums mentioned.

This is the order of difficulty for shape cutting:

1. Cutting straight Lines.
2. Cutting curved,crooked, jagged, or wiggly lines.
3. Cutting Shapes.
4. Cutting Spirals.
