Kindergarten Activities
From outdoor activities perfect for a sunny day, to indoor activities for when the rain is falling, we've got math activities, science activities, writing, reading, and more: so get those paints and markers ready! Make a book, go word fishing, or send kids on a shape scavenger hunt. Here are dozens of things to do with your kindergarten child.
Make a Counting Book
If a picture's worth a thousand words, how many numbers is it worth? Break out some old newspapers and magazines and let your kid find out, by creating her very own counting book!
Fish Me a Word
Want to help your child learn how to read? Put down the books and pick up the fishing rod! This silly game is a fun way to introduce and reinforce sight words--by fishing for them!
Trace Letters on Rice
Is your kindergartner eager to practice writing? Does he love to play with his food? Enjoy making designs in his mashed potatoes or carrot puree? Then he'll get a big kick out of working on his handwriting...using rice!
Build Sentence Puzzles
Does your kindergartener know what a sentence is? Does she keep reading, long after she reaches the period, like she's in a run-on marathon? Help her practice reading, and learn the key pieces to the sentence puzzle, by creating sentence puzzles at home!
Fill in the Blanks for Writing Fun
This fill-in-the-blanks game is a little like Mad Libs, but for emerging writers. Get ready for some silly sentences!
Make a Heart Brooch
Kids generally can't come up with the cash to buy the bling they dream of giving mom. With this project, they can make her jewelry themselves!
Make a Ladybug Storyboard!
Does it bug you that math isn't more fun? Teachers have been using flannel boards for years, to make stories sing. Now, you can make your own version of the flannel board, and help bring math to life!
Play the Jumping Bean Game
Most little kids hate to sit still. You can use this knowledge to your advantage, with this cute game that lets your child practice making words, while acting like a Mexican jumping bean!
Create a School's Out! Calendar
Another school year, come and gone. Plan ahead for summer, by constructing a holiday calendar with your child. Not only will it teach your kid about the passing of time, but it will build excitement, all summer long!
Play the Shape Twister Game
Young kids love bright colors and shapes. This silly game combines shapes, color, and motion--to teach core kindergarten skills. It's kind of like Twister...with a twist!
