Fun Health Lesson Plans For Kids

Posted in Uncategorized | August 27th, 2011

I need help!?

At my school we’ll be running a playschool for 3-5 year olds. Now I’ve never really worked with kids before, and I’m having a really hard time coming up with fun activities. I need to develope a lesson plan for three themes.
1. Colors, Shapes, and Sizes week
2.Transportation and Safety week
3. My Body and Health Week

Now any suggestions on activities, games, art projects, etc. that will work for one of these weeks would be stronly appreciated. I’m going to develope the lesson plan and turn it in to an activity myself, I just really need help getting started. We only have 15 minutes per activity…though they can take home the project and finish it, and even if were playing a game…they need to take something home. Please give any and all suggestions. Even if it seems silly tell me…I may be able to work with it.

1. Cut out handmade pictures of all shapes, sizes and colors and have them separate them is different ways (same size, same color and same shape)
2. Make vehicles out of boxes that they can wear and make a street. Have them obey street rules. Make the vehicles all different kinds (buses, cars, big rigs etc.) Have street lights and have some of the kids as pedestrians. Teach them about street rules like when to cross the street and when to wait.
3. Have the kids trace each other on paper so that they have a life size tracing. Have cut outs of different body parts (e.g. heart, liver, brain etc.) and have them put them in the right place.
