Preschool Activities For Teachers - Ways To Help Keep Your Preschooler Active

An active preschooler is a preschooler who is learning.  Getting preschool activities for teachers can be a tough task for any principle or educator who is looking to expand their preschool curriculum.  Not only do you need to make sure that the children get the right amount of outside play time, but you also need to make sure that they are doing puzzles and games that challenge their mental capacity. So what does a preschool teacher do to make sure that the preschoolers are doing the right activities that are challenging and productive?  Well simply, just make sure the children are involved and being engaged at a level that they find interesting and fun.  When the preschooler’s start losing interest is when they either think the activity is not fun or interesting.  So make sure that the activities are fun for the group.  One way that this can be done is to break the preschool class up into groups of interest or stations (as I like to call them).  You could have a group that like to color, a group that likes to do puzzles, and a group that likes to finger paint.  After 30 or 45 minutes move the groups around to a different station of interest and let them try it. Some other stations that you could have is a bingo station, which helps the children learn number recognition.  Go-Fish station is a good one for shapes, numbers, or animals dependent on the type of cards used.  These are all great preschool ideas for teacher that can help you as an educator, or even a parent engage your preschooler and have a little fun in the process.
