subject: Bringing Fun into Learning for Toddlers [print this page] Being a teacher can be a challenging task especially if you are handling a class full of toddlers! Toddlers can be a lot of fun but you also need to have some fun activities for toddlers up your sleeve if you want to be able to manage these little bundles of energy well.
One activity that you can do is to invite the toddlers to participate in an action song. Action songs help develop their language and motor skills. For instance, you can sing Row, row, row your boat' while you are making rowing actions. You can also sit face-to-face with child and then alternately pull your child towards you and then have him or her lean back. This can also help develop coordination.
Other fun activities for toddlers involve role playing. You can pretend to go off somewhere far and let the kids choose the location. You can also pretend to have special gadgets such as high powered shoes that can help them run faster. You can let them choose the location and take the lead. Let them roam across different terrains around the school. This can help them identify different types of textures and can also help develop their imagination and creativity as well.
Letting the kids participate in fun activities for toddlers can help them learn and gain self confidence. Since they are still kids, these activities can not only match their energy, but it can also help them discover and accomplish things at their own pace.
