Puppets & Songs for Preschool children

 

 The preschoolers benefit from pretend play, which can occur during music and interaction with puppets. Not only do young children grow and develop from songs and puppet shows, they also treasure the parent involvement of those activities. Though singing silly songs and putting on puppet shows feels like nothing more than play, these casual interactions promote cognitive, social and emotional development in toddlers and preschool children. While songs and puppets benefit both age groups, choose age-appropriate songs and puppet activities specific to the needs and abilities of your child.         

Preschool Songs

Puppets shows for toddlers work best when brief and simple. By using puppets to sing songs, parents can guide toddlers through bedtime, teeth brushing, getting dressed and eating dinner. Try keeping a finger puppet at home to cheer up your toddler when she's cranky or she's feeling obstinate. Toddlers naturally test boundaries and resist authority so the use of puppets add a friendly approach in toddler discipline. When asked to put shoes on by a finger puppet named "Sally the Shoe Monkey," she will more likely giggle and comply than shout "no" and run away.

Puppets for Preschoolers

Children from 3 to 5 years of age have the skills to craft their own puppets and perform puppet shows. They might need some adult supervision and guidance with a puppet craft, which makes for a valuable bonding opportunity. Supplies for a homemade puppets include paper bags, cardboard tubes, socks, paper plates and craft sticks. To decorate the puppets, use glitter, paper, markers, googly eyes, paint, yarn and glue. Once your child has designed a puppet, grab your own puppet and strike up a conversation with him

The importance of activities for kids in the classroom

 

 

The importance of activities in the classroom The learning process has to be successful in order to make an engagement between the students and the language, actually is quite difficult to find how active students are in the learning process and how thoroughly they take responsibility for knowledge construction have been linked to learning, to favorable learning experiences, and to students’ attitudes (Bowell & Eison,1991) The truth is that as junior high school teachers we have to deal with students that are passing into a difficult stage, so we must attract them into our subject, especially foreign language, in this case: English. The majority of those students are always complaining about the lack of ideas into the classroom, they said that it is implemented the same routine without allow any creative idea Students engaged in active, deep learning are not passively taking in information from instructors but are reading, writing, discussing, and problem solving students to join in doing tasks. In- and out-of-class exercises that include problems for solving or questions for answering are important for prompting students to use language cognitively and develop thinking skills
