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.
Create Creepy Crawlers
Papier mache is messy, fun, and enables kids to use their hands to create something special, like these papier mache caterpillars.
Make Rain in a Bag!
This experiment lets young learners explore the water cycle long before they can define the words precipitation, evaporation, and condensation.
Create a Family Tree!
With this fun craft, you can make a three-dimensional family tree that's made by tracing your child's own arm. Strong and sturdy, like a true family, this tree will remind him of all the special people in his family.
Craft a Royal Reading Crown
There's something about crowns that never quite goes out of style, especially if you're a kindergarten kid. Here's a creative way to make one, and build in some phonics practice while you're at it.
Make Hidden Color Dough
Here's a fun activity kindergarteners can do completely on their own, while learning about colors and dilution. All they need to do is mix flour and water together to get a nice, pliable dough. It will turn into different colors when they add food coloring, one drop at a time.
String a Slithery Snake!
Kids love making patterns and they love animals. Why not combine the two to make a fun paper chain animal while teaching them about color repetition?
Make a Rock Salt Mosaic
Is your kindergartener getting tired of the standard art supplies? How about making a mosaic? This recipe is kinder safe, no broken glass involved!
Go on a Sound Scavenger Hunt
In this activity, you'll send your child on a hunt to find sounds and create a sound recording. This activity is a way to extend what your child is learning in kindergarten about the five senses, while having fun while you're at it!
Play the Senses Guessing Game
Your turn to guess! In this fun guessing game, your child uses his sense of smell and taste to figure out what kind of food is in each container.
Where Do I Live? An Animal Habitat Game
During kindergarten, your child will study habitats and learn that a habitat is where an animal lives. This silly game reinforces the concept of habitats and what animals live in different habitats.
