For a bit of a challenge introduce your children to another language with Spanish Bingo. Each square has a picture in it and below the picture is its name in Spanish. It is never too early to introduce your child to another language and this fun preschool game is a great way to do it!
Get Creative And Make Your Own Fun Preschool Game
For this fun preschool art project you will need to create cards that have a picture of one animal on each card with another card having a corresponding picture of its tracts. As the kids will be handling the set of cards that has the pictures of the animals on them consider using heavy duty paper or card stock and laminate them! Once the cards are made you will want to gather your children in a circle and capture their attentions by telling them a story about animals. You can create a story about visiting the zoo or about hiking in the mountains, just keep it interesting so you do not lose their attention. Give the children the pictures of the animals and then begin to tell the story. When you get to “bear” do not say the word but show them the tracks and let them find the pictures of the bear to match them. Feel free to give them a few hints or replicate a bear sound! This fun preschool game will also help to encourage sharing and team work as the kids work together to pick the correct animal to match the tracks!
