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.

1- make puzzles with different colored shapes, make sure that they are simple and easy for the kids to solve
2-have demonstrations about how to cross the street, how to identify a stranger, and stuff like that. Again, make sure it is simple and easy for the kids to understand
3- have a sort of Simon says. point to where a part of the body would be and say this is where my "body part" is. Then have the children repeat it.

What if you start with a book about one of the themes and build it from there.
There are a lot of sites out there that help teachers in making lesson plans. Google preschool lesson plans :)
Good Luck!

1. for colors you should get paints and give them all like 5 colors and they should paint a picture and they could mix the colors together or cute out some colors and have them piece them together or something
2.when i was younger what we did was we took our bikes and went into a parking lot (no cars or anything) and they made people out of cardboard and cars and made lines with chalk and had cones and we had to do the signals for going left (stick out left hand) and right(stick out right hand) it was alot of fun and we got treats for wearing our helmets, and al the gear
3.for my body and health week you should have them eat vegetables and fruits and have their parents record it in a little journal and they get graded for how good they eat and how much they exercise and maybe take them out and play soccer with them and just make it fun!
