The One With May Plans, Week 4

Hi guys! I'm sending out a few last ideas on reviewing overall pre-k skills for the month!

May Calendar Printable Here

I'm getting ready to make a big trip out of town, so I'll just send you out to links of ideas vs. making my own demos! I've got some packing to do! :)

Alphabet Review: Alphabet Beach Ball

Directions: Write the letters of the alphabet with permanent marker onto an inflatable beach ball. Play a toss game with their child. Ask them to identify the name of the letter that their them is closest to as the catch the ball. (This is fun in the bathtub with a smaller beach ball as well!)

Shapes Review: Water Balloon Smash:

Directions: Using chalk, draw varying shapes all around the sidewalk. Call out the names of a shape and encourage your kiddo to splash the shape with a water balloon! Water balloons are super exciting for preschoolers! This blogger took it a step further and wrote letters onto the water balloons for extra practice. Have fun! http://littlebinsforlittlehands.com/water-ballon-letters-shapes-play/

Colors Review: Sort and Stick Colors 

Directions: On a large piece of paper (easel, butcher, etc) draw long columns in order to create separate sections on the paper. Label each section a color (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, etc). Encourage your child to glue down corresponding colored items in each column. These items could be as simple as squares of colored paper (as seen in link) or fun pictures that they found in magazines! Be creative! Once their giant paper is compete, it will be something that they will be really proud of! :)

Numbers Review: 

Directions: Number the left side of a paper 1-10. Draw a caterpillar head to the right of each number. Then, invite your child to add the corresponding number of body segments next to the caterpillar head! They can add stickers for body segments, draw circles, or do dot stamps!  I added a link here with an example picture.

Alphabet Review: Fly Swatting Letters

Directions: print file. Cut apart the flies and label them with letters. (Or shapes, colors, sight words, or anything else you'd like to review!) Lay the flies out on the floor (or tape them around the house!) and ask them to swat certain things! This game cracks my kids up!!!

Thats it!!! A school year's worth of lesson plans!!!!
