I have got an assignment to do involving planning activities for FS children.
I never teach this age group!
I'll write the bare bones incase anyone can help:
1) An activity to explore the way FS children think and reason using language.
2) 2/3 communication games that develop knowledge of convention in communication. (I guess this could be stuff like turn taking in conversation? - maybe role playing a phone call or visit to doctor or something???).
Any help SO gratefully received - absolutely snowed under with course work at the moment!!
For 1, could I do the following...
feely bag with variety of objects in. Children have to feel and, using their knowledge of how common items feel: texture, shape, size, guess what it is.
or maybe give them a problem like : my shoe is broken, or toy fire engine is broken - what should I fix it with: tape, pritt stick, string etc. They reason through which would wotrk and why and which not and why???
