This is a great age because everything is such a new and unique experience and they are learning so much every day.  Some ideas:\n\n--Play games involving memory skills, alphabet, numbers, vocabulary.  Have scavenger hunts to have them find red items or items beginning with B, etc.\n\n--Play age-appropriate board games like Candyland or Memory Match\n\n--Color in coloring books\n\n--Look for homeschool oriented activity books for the age.  Walmart usually has fun stuff that isn't very expensive.  Or make your own "activity sheets"\n\n--Get physical--play games that involve jumping, dancing, stretching.  Simon Says is a great one  for this, or Follow the Leader or Hide and Seek.\n\n--Get them involved in doing simple things to help you with your chores like sorting laundry, cleaning up toys etc.  Find ways to make it into a game.\n\n--Bake cookies and let them help decorate the cookies\n\n--Read, read, read, lots of storybooks.  \n\n--for times when you need some "mommy time" videos/DVDs can't be beat.  There's lots of educational stuff out there, too.  My nephews love PBS kids shows and you can get compilations of them.\n\nHere's some websites with some more ideas:\n\nhttp://www.dmoz.org/Kids_and_Teens/Pre-School/\n\nhttp://www.perpetualpreschool.com/

Children love to be busy, and a teacher must always be flexible, creative and imaginative so that everyday activities are not monotonous. Children have short attention span. An exciting activity to the next minimize misbehavior. i tell you, it works! an example of how you should start is to have an informal conversation first, then mimic some songs, recite poems, play music where they can freely move with it, let them have something to manipulate, to cut, to paste; make them draw, paint,and write.  and most of all, let them play, indoor or outdoor will always be exciting for them. tell them stories too.  a teacher should tap all aspects that will develop the skills of children; you know, they have different learning styles.

you can pick and choose from this site, I won't bother explaining it, since we all know it, but this site is aimed at kids:\n\nhttp://www.sciencemadesimple.com/static.html\n\nYou might even just want to do the first parts and the last parts, but it depends on the age of the kids and stuff like that.

Try art/music/theater day camps to keep them engaged.  Although they aren't specifically academic, they might be a chance to try something new in a lower-stakes environment.

Take some balloons and blow them up and watch them slowly lose the air in side over a few days.  Then explain what Osmosis is.   : )   While you have the balloons out fill some with helium and show the kids how they can make their voices change.  Have your video camera ready this will be a hoot!!!

Have the kids pick up their own toys and put them away.  Make a game of it, set a timer, or sing songs while you do this.

* Bubbles\n* Water-guns 3 for $1 at the dollar store.\n* If you can borrow/buy a little plastic pool - they love water. If not - do you have a sprinkler? Let 'em play on that!\n* Games like pin the tail on the donkey are fun\n* Another game - don't spill the beans.  Use dried beans - like pinto beans - and let them use a big plastic spoon. Fill the spoon with a certain number of beans and have them walk from point A to point B.  The child with the most beans wins!\n* Finger paint/pudding.  Color vanilla pudding w/different color food coloring and let them 'paint' and eat on their paper plates!\n* Make plain cupcakes and let them decorate w/sprinkles\n* Silly songs and dances\n* Pinatas are fun - but watch how those little guys swing! lol\n* A puppet show with socks. Let each kid make a puppet using markers and all your mismatched socks. Glue buttons on for eyes and let them decorate the rest of the puppet w/markers.  \n* If it's a boy - let them make worms and dirt.  Make choc pudding and put it in little cups.  Let them add the crushed oreo cookies to the top (to make it look like dirt) and give them gummy worms to put in the 'dirt'. Give 'em a spoon and let them eat!\n\nHope those ideas help.  \n\n~Maxie

Well it depends. If you are doing a reading group have the kids read the story with the pictures. Or an activity like have them finger paint or something like that just keep it fun!!!!!!!

I agree role play is a very effective way to teach...\n\nsome additional suggestions:\nHave each student play both sides of any "scene" and then open the discussion up to comments from the entire class.\n\nYou could have a list of things to be discussed and have the first student draw a topic... who ever "answers" can be the next to draw a topic.
