There is no evidence to suggest that preschool worksheets adversely affect preschoolers. Worksheets can be valuable for reinforcing and practicing new concepts and skills.

However, using worksheets in moderation is vital and provides various other learning opportunities and experiences.

It’s also essential to consider each child’s individual needs and learning style, as some children may benefit more from certain types of worksheets than others.

When introducing worksheets to preschoolers, it’s important to start with simple worksheets that focus on basic skills such as alphabet recognition, letter formation, number recognition, and shape recognition.

Gradually increase the difficulty as your child becomes more comfortable with the material. It’s also a good idea to incorporate other learning activities and experiences to support your child’s overall development.

Free preschool worksheets can be a valuable tool for helping preschoolers learn about a variety of printable activities subjects, including alphabet recognition, number recognition, shape recognition, color recognition, fine motor skills, gross motor skills , and more. It’s crucial to choose worksheets appropriate for your child’s age and learning level and to use them in moderation, along with various other learning experiences.

While worksheets can be a valuable tool for reinforcing and practicing new concepts and skills, they may not necessarily provide an outlet for children to release their creative energy.

While worksheets may not be specifically designed to improve gross motor skills, some may incorporate movement and physical activity as part of the learning experience. For example, a worksheet that involves matching objects to pictures may also include standing up and walking to retrieve the objects.

However, if you want to specifically focus on improving your child’s gross motor skills, it’s crucial to provide a variety of activities that involve significant muscle movement. Examples include playing sports, participating in dance or gymnastics classes, and engaging in outdoor activities such as running, climbing, and playing with balls and other large toys. It’s also essential to ensure that your child has access to safe, age-appropriate play equipment and to supervise them during play to ensure their safety.

In addition to using heavier-weight paper, there are a few other options you may want to consider when selecting printer paper for your preschool worksheets.

One option is to use high-quality, bright white paper. This type of paper is made from a higher grade of pulp and has a smoother finish, which can help produce crisp, clear images and text on the worksheets.

Another option is to use paper with a coated finish, such as a glossy or semi-gloss finish. This type of paper is treated with a coating that helps to enhance the colors and contrast of the worksheets, making them more vibrant and eye-catching.

Working with your toddler on “school” type work covers the basics. Like, the basic basics: colors, numbers, letters, and shapes.

The focus should really be on play, and not on testing or desk work.

Some basic things an older toddler will start to learn are:

• Differentiating colors
• Differentiating shapes
• Recognizing letters
• Recognizing numbers

I’ve collected a few activities to get your wheels turning on how to help a toddler start to recognize these.

Love these ideas of learning. I love playing lets match with different flash cards. we both get 4 cards each and pile the rest. we take turns turning one over if it matches the card we have we take it. we do this till all the cards are matched up. she doesn’t even realize she is learning her colors,numbers,abc Most importantly she is learning, taken turns, sharing and being a good sport.

I am a Early Child-hood student with open polytechnic one of my tasks was to plan a play plan for a toddler at my kindergarten as part of my pactruim and work experience I was lost for ideas until I saw your site I have chosen three activities that I will share with a toddler and observe His reaction and how he will be able to learn from this with my help. Thank-you

love all these amazing ideas!!!

September 22, 2014 at 3:11 am

I believe some one and a half year olds understand some simple opposites, such as On/off, up/down, sit/stand, in/out….. Just to name a few. When I get my little one year old niece Dressed I say shirt on, and when I take it off I say shirt off, same with her shoes. I think about Things I do on an everyday basis that can help her understand simple opposites.

When my children were young, I ran an in-home day-care. One of the things that the children always loved was being involved in the food. I baked all the bread for the day-care children. They loved helping! They also liked having thier own little section of the garden. And starting plants in the window. Picking and eating what they grew was wonderful for them too. We also made snack time an activity; round and square crackers, raisins, grapes, carrot slices, banana slices, peanut butter, sunflowerseeds, just to mention a few. A little dab of peanut butter for glue and anything will stick to a cracker. Decorate like an ornament or faces and eat yummy. Sometimes you can get them to try new foods, just because it looked good on their cracker artwork. ;) Now I provide day-care for my grandson, can’t wait till he can eat peanut butter!

50 Fun SEL Activities for Preschool and Kindergarten

Social-emotional activities have never been more important for our little ones.

When our little ones head off for school, they take their first steps in a lifelong journey of learning. Not only will they begin to build foundational skills that will pave the way for academic success, but they’ll also learn social-emotional skills like kindness, sharing, empathy, and many more that will contribute to their overall success in life. Some research suggests that social-emotional activities might be the most important work children can do in their early years. In fact, one study found that social-emotional wellness in kindergarten correlated with success up until age 25 . Here are some of our favorite social-emotional activities to use with your preschool and kindergarten students.

Teach students to identify their emotions

Identifying and labeling feelings (your own and others’) is a valuable life skill that takes lots of practice. These social-emotional activities are not only fun and engaging for little ones, they spark essential conversations that lead to deeper understanding.

1. Read, read, read!

There are TONS of children’s books featuring interesting main characters and story lines that teach social-emotional skills. Reading about characters they can relate to, in situations they can relate to, helps young children learn valuable lessons. Here are two book lists to get you started: Picture Books To Teach Students About Kindness and Children’s Books for Teaching Social Skills.

Different emotions evoke different feelings in our bodies. Teach your students this song to help them learn to identify what is really going on. Also, find role-play scenarios and reflection questions.

3. Practice with emotions play-dough mats

Learning to read others’ emotions is a valuable SEL tool. Children can explore and identify nuances of facial features that are paired with emotions by using play dough to draw faces on these free emotions play-dough mats from The OT Toolbox.

4. Play a monster-emotions match game

Download the free game cards here . This fun and engaging game helps kids learn how to identify emotions in other people. The game begins as students walk around the room making the feeling face that matches their card. As they walk, they look for another student who seems to be demonstrating the same feeling. Once everyone thinks they have found their matching feeling friend, let them check their cards to see if they are right. Play a few rounds to give kids a chance to try out different feelings.

5. Make emotion masks

These masks are a great tool for talking about feelings. And all you need is paper plates (cut in half), craft sticks, tape, and markers. The activity will focus on four emotions: happy, mad, sad, and silly. For each emotion (and each mask), make a face and then ask the class to identify the emotion it represents. Once they correctly identify the emotion, have them use the marker to draw that face on one of the plates. You can use these masks during read-alouds (hold up the mask that shows how the main character is feeling) or during class conversations to reinforce their understanding of what different feelings look like.

6. Start each day with a check-in

This chart is a fun one to help students communicate how they’re feeling. Position it next to your classroom door, and have students point to the emoji that most closely matches how they’re feeling as they enter. Social-emotional activities like this one help students get in the habit of monitoring their emotions and give you valuable information about your students’ moods.

7. Draw helping hands

Encouraging students to think about others can make them realize how much control they have over the feelings of others. Have students trace or draw their own hands and reflect or write what their helpful hands can do for others.

8. Do an emotions sort

Linking Zones of Regulation activities to fun experiences helps kids make connections. For example, this simple Emotions Sorting Game inspired by Disney-Pixar’s  Inside Out  helps kids learn and explore emotions. The game is a printable download available from  Mom Endeavors .

9. Play emotions Jenga

Attach a collection of emotion words onto Jenga blocks—for instance, happy, sad, angry, frustrated, etc. You can either write on the blocks with a Sharpie or try these pretty labels from Collective Feelings. One at a time, pull one of the emotion blocks out of the stack. Ask for a volunteer to either tell you the definition of that feeling or share a story about a time they felt that emotion. Talking about emotions in a group, and hearing others’ stories, helps kids make lasting connections.

10. Make an emotion spinner

If you’re looking for engaging social-emotional activities to teach kids more about identifying their emotions, try these emotion spinners. All you need to make them are paper plates, brads, markers (or paint or crayons or colored pencils), and a large circle punch if you have one. For full directions on how to make and use emotion spinners, check out this blog from Meaningful Mama .

11. Play a round of emotions charades

Prepare a set of cards with emotion words and pictures of what those emotion looks like. Then play a round of emotions charades, which helps preschoolers read nonverbal cues, identify and regulate emotions, and learn how to express emotions in a healthy way, all of which are essential elements of emotional intelligence.

12. Make affirmation bracelets

Set out cups of colored beads. In front of each cup of beads, add a sticky note with a positive affirmation. Teach your students what each affirmation says and means. Give each student a pipe cleaner and help them create a bracelet by threading the beads onto the pipe cleaner.

Teach kids strategies to deal with hard feelings

Being able to identify and label feelings is a great start. Knowing what to do when unsettling feelings come up is the next step. Feelings like anger, sadness, and confusion will undoubtedly arise from time to time in the classroom. Here are a few social-emotional activities to help your students learn how to cope in a safe environment.

13. Teach students to use I-statements

Encourage students to be mindful about how they’re feeling by helping them practice how to articulate their thoughts without lashing out at others.

To play, have a student roll a die, then count and walk to that number sheet. Help them read their statement and then have them fill in the last blank.

Build in lots of opportunities for kids to work on social skills

Like everyone, little ones learn best by doing. Give them lots of opportunities to interact with peers one-on-one, in small groups, and as part of a whole class, ideally with as little adult interference as possible. As they play during social-emotional activities, they’ll learn to navigate among other kids who may have different styles and opinions. Activities like creative play, building projects, board games, and partner reading are great tools to reveal kids’ strengths and challenges as they begin to figure out how to manage school in the best way for themselves.

Practice mindfulness in the classroom

Mindfulness techniques help students handle big emotions (in themselves and others) and cultivate a sense of peace and calm.

43. Make gratitude rocks

Taking time to go inside and think about things you are grateful for is a powerful life skill. For this activity, bring a collection of rocks to class for your students to choose from. Then, using paint, markers, or crayons, give them time to decorate their rocks. Ask your students to take a few minutes and think about something they are grateful for and narrow it down to just one word. Have them write their word with Sharpie on their rock—be sure to give them help if they need it. When everyone is done with their rock, make time for those who are comfortable doing so to share their rock and explain it to their classmates.

44. Go on a nature walk

Take your little ones outside to indulge their five senses. Explore the changing color of leaves, different leaf shapes, pine cones, and more. Listen for birds and other critters. Lie down on the grass and feel the earth beneath you as you look up at the blue sky.

45. Practice progressive muscle relaxation

Most of us, including kids, aren’t always aware of the muscles in our body and how they feel or move. But we can all carry a lot of emotions in our physical bodies. Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is a coping skill and relaxation exercise that can help us calm our body and mind by slowly and progressively tensing and relaxing our muscles, one group at a time.

46. Listen to music

It’s not too hard to tell when young students need a break or need a few minutes to recharge. And you know the old saying “Music soothes the savage beast.” Why not pop on this soothing video with gentle guitar music playing in the background for a few minutes? Music makes for fantastic social-emotional activities during snack time, as a brain break, or during transition times.

47. Play in water

Nothing is more calming to the nervous system than water. Set up a water table in your classroom and let students engage in free cooperative play. Include your water table as a station at center time.

48. Play in sand

Just like the water table, a sand table offers the basis for many social-emotional activities to rotate into your stations. Learn about the benefits and try some of these fun ideas from The Early Childhood Academy .

49. Make time for art

There are SO many reasons kids need to paint . Painting is one of the best social-emotional activities because most people find peace and relaxation in art. It focuses their minds and helps them look at the world around them in a much more engaged way.

50. Listen to a rain stick

There’s just something so soothing about the sound of a rain stick . Help your students turn their thought inward by taking a few moments to stop and listen. Turn down the lights and invite your preschoolers or kindergartners to lie down on the rug and close their eyes. Turn the rain stick upside down and back again for a few minutes, leaving a few seconds of silence between each rotation.

Physical Activity Guidelines for School-Aged Children and Adolescents

The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, 2 nd edition [PDF – 13.5 MB] , issued by the US Department of Health and Human Services, recommend that children and adolescents ages 6 through 17 years  do 60 minutes (1 hour) or more of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity daily. 1 Regular physical activity in children and adolescents promotes health and fitness. Compared to those who are inactive, physically active youth have higher levels of fitness, lower body fat, and stronger bones and muscles. Physical activity also has brain health benefits for school-aged children, including improved cognition (e.g., academic performance, memory) and reduced symptoms of depression. Regular physical activity in childhood and adolescence can also be important for promoting lifelong health and well-being and preventing risk factors for various health conditions like heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.

It is important to provide young people opportunities and encouragement to participate in physical activities that are appropriate for their age, that are enjoyable, and that offer variety. Children and adolescents ages 6 through 17 years should do 60 minutes (1 hour) or more of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity daily.

• Aerobic: Most of the 60 minutes or more per day should be either moderate- or vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity and should include vigorous-intensity physical activity on at least 3 days a week.
• Muscle-strengthening: As part of their 60 minutes or more of daily physical activity, children and adolescents should include muscle-strengthening physical activity on at least 3 days a week.
• Bone-strengthening: As part of their 60 minutes or more of daily physical activity, children and adolescents should include bone-strengthening physical activity on at least 3 days a week.
