Preschool Plans - Teaching Children To Love Learning

Preschool teachers, daycare providers and kindergarten teachers can find a mine full of preschool plans on the net. You too can find plans to make music, learn alphabets, animal themed plans and much more.

Music Plans

Music preschool plans are a great hit with teachers and students alike. You can begin by collecting various items from your home. I am sure you will find items like, marbles, bells, paperclips, pencils, and other small items lying around your home. Put them in a box and then shake it. Now ask your pre kindergarten students what they think is in the box.

Another great music plan involves collecting rocks. Collect rocks of various sizes. The kids will love to help you out on this one. After you and your preschoolers have collected sufficient rocks, you can pick up various rocks of different sizes and bang them together. Obviously you would be doing this one pair at a time. Now ask your preschooler whether different rocks make different sounds. If they answer yes, ask them how the sounds are different.

Another fun music plan that you can do with your preschooler is to have them communicate by singing. If they want to say or express something, let them do it through singing.

These music plans will help your preschoolers-

-To differentiate between different sounds.
-They will learn to identify where these different sounds are coming from.
-They will learn how to create music using their own voices.

Life Cycle Of A Butterfly

Science related activities for preschool are also quite popular. Science preschool plans help kids understand the nature around them. It develops their creative energy and brings out the explorer in them. There are many such plans available. One of my favorite is identifying the life cycle of a butterfly. You would need the following materials-

-Several butterfly patterns
-Spiral pasta to represent a caterpillar
-Shell pasta to represent the chrysalis
-Bow tie pasta to represent a butterfly
-Small pasta to represent an egg of a butterfly
-Colors
-Glue

First, ask your preschoolers what they know about butterflies and whether they have seen or touched one. Ask them about various stages in the life of a butterfly. Now show them how an egg becomes a butterfly. Discuss each stage in detail with the help of the materials that you have. Now ask each of them make their own butterfly and decorate it. At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to understand the four stages in a butterfly's life.

Trip To A Farm

Most kids love animals, so you can plan a pre K learning farm trip to familiarize the kids with various farm animals. Let them ask the farmer all the questions they want to ask. Then when they come back to the school, you can create a barn like environment in the classroom. For example, add small farm animals, toy tractors, trucks, etc. Then discuss all that they learned at the farm. This is a fun activity where the kids too get to learn a lot.

Teaching preschoolers is both- very challenging and very rewarding. You are teaching these kids their very first lessons in life. If you manage to make it fun and exciting for these kids, they will enjoy learning. So choose the preschool plans carefully and watch what a great learning experience it is for everyone involved.
