A Fruity Lesson Plan!!!
Teaching preschoolers is a challenging, yet rewarding, experience. They are
full of energy, so you must find methods of educating them that keep their
attention. Interactive teaching and using action-based activities are the best
methods for teaching preschoolers. Preschool children work best in smaller
groups and on individual levels, and they must be actively engaged in whatever
they are trying to learn.
Today I share a few lesson plan tips on teaching children all about
FRUITS.
Instructions
Things You'll Need
- Fresh or dried fruit
- Sandwich bags
- Pictures of fruit
- Picture books about fruit
1. As a class teacher Offer healthy fruit choices to your students during
snack time. Prepare individual sandwich bags with a variety of fruits. If you
use fresh fruit, use only fruit that is easy to eat without much mess, such as
grapes. You may also want to use dried fruit, such as banana chips and raisins.
Ask the children to name the fruit in the bags before they eat the fruit.
(These can be called for from home!!! Each student van carry any one predecided
fruit that day to school)
2. Place a tray with all the fruits in on your table .Let the children
decide their favorite fruit and then draw it. At the end of the week invite parents and
other relatives to a special showcasing of the pictures.
3. Use the child's senses of taste and smell. Blindfold one of the children
and gather the others around. Have everyone be quiet for a minute, and give the
blindfolded child a piece of fruit. Ask him or her how the piece of fruit
smells and tastes, and then ask the child to guess what the fruit is.
4. Create a fruit-themed alphabet chart. Ask them to name a fruit for each
letter of the alphabet -- A is for apple and B is for banana, for example. Let
the children choose what fruits the other letters stand for. Display on the
class bulletin board.
5. Count the seeds inside a specific fruit!!!!. Peel an orange and count
the number of seeds within that orange. Next, slice an apple in half and count
the number of seeds within that apple. Repeat with any other fruit that you
want. This activity will teach all about the fruit and basic number counting.
6. Read a picture book to your preschool children that involve fruit as its
main subject. Ask the school librarian for recommendations. For example,
"Blueberries for Sal" by Robert McCloskey is a Caldecott Honor
awarded picture book that's perfect for teaching children about blueberries.
