What are some easy questions for preschoolers?

Questions should not be accumulated and memorized. They should come naturally within instruction or conversation with the kids.\n\nShe needs to decide what topic she's going to do with the kids, then ask questions about it that are about the things the kids can see, hear, touch, etc. or for them to draw conclusions (start with one step, then add if they are doing well). For instance, if she does want to talk about colors with the kids, she could do some fingerpainting or watercolors with them. Only give the kids the primary colors (red, yellow, blue). Have them try mixing the different colors. Ask "What color does red and yellow make?"\n\nOr lets say she wants to teach the difference between living and non-living things. She could put a rock and a caterpillar on the table, and ask the kids "What is the caterpillar doing?" "What is the rock doing?" "What can the caterpillar do that the rock can't do?"

You should talk to kids when they are asking questions. If a 4 year old asks where babies come from, you tell them using age appropriate language, but correct terminology. As they get older and closer to puberty, you should give them more information so they know what to expect. I would say before they are teens you should have the full sex conversation. Kids now are having oral sex as young as 10 and 11, so if you wait, chances are they'll get their information from peers and not you.\n\n\nBk's Mom said it very well down there ...that's exactly what my mom did and it lead to an open dialogue between us through my teen years, and I think worked very well

Although I do not live in your area, I am a Preschool teacher so I can give you some tips of what to look for in a good nursery school facility. Look through the phone book and pick a few in your area. Your local government might also have some info for you. Call the daycares you choose and ask about availability, fees, opening hours and age groups. Pick the ones that suit your needs best and make an appointment to go and visit. Here are some specific things to look for:\n* Look at the building. Is it clean and safe? Are there heaps of resources/toys for the children to play with?\n* What is the play area outside like? Is there room for the kids to run? Is the equipment safe and well maintained?\n* Are the staff friendly and happy? Are they getting down on the children's level and interacting with them or are they standing back watching and/or talking with each other?\n* Do the kids currently at the centre appear happy? Are they playing well or running around causing havoc?\n* Do the teachers plan for each child individually? Do they write down observations of what the child is doing and plan activities based on the children's interests and needs?\n* Have a look at the major policies, including child protection, behaviour management, and food preparation/diets (if food is provided by the centre).\n* What is your gut feeling telling you? If you are not confident, it will be harder for you to trust them with your child!!\n\nI hope this helps!

I would start with the basics, counting to 10, recognizing colors and some shapes, etc.  Also how to use crayons and simple things like that.  They will learn the rest.  Also, you may want to make sure the child is okay with sharing, authority figures besides the parents, etc.

1.Talk to them as you would an adult, without the explicits.\n2. Go to http://leapfrog.com for great videos and toys.\n3. You could also try http://www.discoverytoysinc.com\n4.Consistent, repetition helps my toddlers a lot.\n    Ex:  One week, around each hour, I will do a topic like:  ABCs, shapes, numbers, math:  and we will make it into our "projects" and songs.\n5.  Sesame Street is still quite popular and effective.

Pick a silly subject and just have fun with it.  "What would a cloud say on a rainy day?"  "Do trees dream?"  "Does a donut hole have meaning?"  "Why is green happier than pink?"  \n\nHave fun with something totally off the wall and watch your creative juices flow!\n\nBest wishes!

Since I used to watch this show for a few years, I'm aware of the types of questions that will really make for an interesting night, plus teach something to the couples.\n\nWhat was the day that you first met each other?\nWhat is your favorite dessert? Veggie? Drink? Meat? \nWhere was your wife's/husband's mom born? Dad?\nWhat kind of socks does your hubby wear? Underwear? \nWhat kind of car did your hubby/wife first own?\nIf you could live anywhere, where would it be?\nHow many children are you planning on having?\nWhat kind of laundry detergent is used at your home?\nDo you still have any reminders of past relationships?\nWhat is your wife's favorite flower? Perfume?\nWhat is the color of the carpet in your bedroom?\nWhich drawer does your spouse put their underwear in?\nWhere was your spouse born? Raised? Schools?\nWhen was the last time the sheets on your bed were changed?\nHow much does your spouse weigh? How tall?\n\nI'm sure you can come up with more on your own, just using the ones suggested. Just remember that the questions are doing several purposes. To have fun, to be entertained, to learn about your friends and to realize you don't know everything, and probably never will. Hopefully, your couples will be light-hearted through it all and not get overly upset about their answers. Hope you all have a great time. <*)))><

I teach a couple kindergarten music classes and they're not too far beyond preschool, so maybe some of these things will work for you too.\n\nI play the "hot and cold" game except with loud and soft.  One student hides an item in the room.  Another student looks for it.  As he/she gets closer to the item, the rest of the class claps louder.  As they get further away, they clap more softly.  This teaches them dynamics.\n\nI also play a singing game where we use a stuffed animal that correlates with the season.  Right now I am using a turkey.  One student puts their back to the rest of the class.  I give the turkey to a student that is behaving well.  The entire class sings "Who has the turkey?" on Mi - Do - Fa- Mi - Do on the following rhythm. \nquarter, eighth, eighth, quarter, quarter.  (One syllable per pitch)  After the entire class sings "Who has the turkey" twice, the child that actually has it sings it twice by themselves.  The child that has their back to the class then tries to guess who has it by recognizing their voice.  The kids love it!  Sorry if I couldn't explain it well.  You could use whatever melody you want to sing, you don't have to use the one that I attempted to explain using solfege.
