Good Morning KG1 A!
Activity 1
Science (20 minutes)
Dinosaur habitats
Materials needed: Paper, crayons, glue, scissors and dinosaur template (here)
Beginning:
I wonder where dinosaurs lived? Did they live on land (like us), in the water (like sea animals) or in the air (like birds)? Let’s find out.
Middle:
First, using your coloring materials, color the sea, land and sky.
Then, let us look at the animals on this paper (dinosaur template).
You may say:
· Acknowledge how they have separated the sea, land and sky. Have they used different colors? Talk to them about their choice of colors.
· How are the animals on the paper the same? How are they different?
· Ask- where do you think these animals would go? On land, in the sea or the sky?
· Ask them to draw other dinosaurs on land, sea and sky.
Extension: Ask them to name the dinosaurs (real or made up!). Ask them to sound out the names and write them out. Discuss what the dinosaurs ate? Meat or plants?
End:
Give them a 5 minute notice. Ask them to clean up the materials and return them to their places as they finish up their activity.
Activity 2
Literacy (10 minutes)
Rhyming rhythms
Materials needed: Paper and pencil
Beginning:
We will be thinking of rhyming words today. They may be real or made-up (imaginary) words. Let’s get started!
Middle:
Ask them to rhyme the following words: cat, house, fish, mug, boat and pen
You may say:
· Can you think of more than one word which rhymes with these words?
· Ask them to make up rhymes to their names and names of their friends/family. These should be funny, it will encourage them to sound out words and find rhymes.
Extension: Ask them to sound out and spell out some of these words on paper
End:
Give them a 5 minute notice. Ask them to clean up the materials and return them to their places as they finish up their activity.
