My Project

I plan on using my requested materials every day in small groups. Pre-K has two hours and ten minutes built into their schedule every day. During this time, students can go to any center in the classroom and play and learn. We have a specific center called table toys.

Table toys have all of our board games, memory games, bingo, and many other learning games.

My students will receive prizes for taking and sharing when playing these games. At this age, we know that young children learn through play.

The board games I am asking for include Zingo, Pancake Pile Up, and Candy Land. Playing these games will give them skills they will use for the rest of their lives such as building important social skills, like sharing and taking turns, and memory and literacy skills. Also, the prizes attached to this project such as the candy and fidgets will be received by the students for sharing and taking turns as they play these games.
