Perfectly Preschool



Vacation Transportation
Bring appliance boxes into the classroom to be used as boats, buses, planes, and cars. Have the children decorate them and then use them to take them on a trip

Take A Train Ride
Line up all of your chairs to create a train (or bus). Put numbers on all of the chairs. Then distribute tickets (with corresponding numbers) to your students. Then you (the engineer) can put on an apron and take their tickets and punch a hole in them and return them. For added emphasis add extra props (such as suitcases and maps)

Red Light, Green Light (or Traffic Light)
A slight twist to the classic game. Cut out a red and green circle. Attach the circles to short sticks. From that point play it like the classic game, when you hold up the green circle the children walk toward you, when you hold up the red they must stop.

What Will You Put In Your Suitcase
Reinforce ABC's during this group time game. Go around the circle and name what you will put into your suitcase. If your children are advanced you can make it more difficult by having them go through the alphabet. Example: child 1 A-alarm clock, child 2 B- bubble gum.

Place to Place
Put your state map on a table and highlight two major cities. Let your children trace with their finger all the different ways that they can get from one city to the next.
