Great free exploration activity
I think this activity is great for a variety of ages and touches on many key developmental areas for children under the age of 8. In my Pre-K classroom, where children are unable to write, I would work with small groups of children to record their answers or descriptions. I would also provide art materials and have children draw a representation of their understanding. I would ask children what their picture means and write down what they say (word for word). When assessing a child’s understanding I would be able to refer back to what they said and also displays children’s improvement in language and sentence structure. This activity is great for teacher just starting their career, like myself. Thank you for the great idea!
