America and Freedom Activities For Preschoolers?
I changed my lesson plans. I will now do it on America and Freedom. Any thoughts on what activities I could do for preschoolers ? It should be active and educational. Such as math, science, reading, arts&crafts, drama/music etc.
For instance, one student teacher is going to show them the the significance of the American Flag and sort out the colors (math) and count the stars (also math) and possibly say the Pledge of Allegiance (music)
That was my original idea however, she goes before
me so I cannot do that.
Any more ideas you could share for me ?
Thanks , you will get points if you share your ideas.
Math- Have the numbers 1-?on a piece of paper. Then have them place the correct number of flags under each number.
Music-Dance/sing Yankee Doodle or the Star Spangle Banner. You can give the kids an instrument so they can play along to the music. You can also have all the kids line up behind you and march to the music.
Arts & Crafts-Have the kids make a flag from paper. They can glue on the stripes and the stars.
Patriotic Wind Sock-Construction paper (blue and white) Red and white crepe paper streamers, Glue, String, Scissors, Hole punch.
Cut stars from the white paper and have the kids glue them onto the blue paper. Then staple the two ends together. Next glue on the red and white streamers to the bottom of blue paper. Punch four holes along the top of the wind sock. Cut two pieces of string about a foot long. Tie the strings to the wind sock (tie the opposite ends of a string to holes on opposite sides of the cylinder). Tie a longer piece of string to the smaller pieces – you’ll hang the wind sock from this piece of string.
