Ducklings: Math activity

We had circle time in Math and Construction room. We played a game called ‘Number Triangle’, where we made triangle and round shapes using construction paper. With colored sticky balls, the children had to match the round shapes on the triangle with the correct color and, finally, count how many balls were there. They were very excited about it and all did a great job! :-)

Purpose:
Develop their early math abilities.
Develop their motor skills.


Lpfö 2010 revised:
Develop their understanding of space, shapes, location and direction, and the basic properties of sets, quantity, order and number concepts, also for measurements, time, and change.

Ducklings: Friendship Color Mixing

We had Circle Time in the Gym. We introduced two new jolly phonics sounds “W” and “X”. We counted who was present with the Ducklings Family Tree by putting apples flashcards on the tree with the children’s pictures. Later on, we introduced the meaning of “Friends”, who we love to spend time with, to help as well as to cooperate with. Then we had an art activity called “Friendship color mixing”: every two children made a pair and chose a color to paint their hand with. They mixed the color with their friend’s color on the hand to create a new one. Finally they used the new color to create hand prints on a big piece of white paper. All the children had a lot of fun while playing and helping each other as well as learning about the color theory.
