When warm weather settles in, take them on a nature hike.  Most teens will think this is cheesy, but the competition will soon settle in.\n\nPlay a seeking game.  Create a list of items, with points attached, of things that are around their school.  List the scientific name (ones studied in class and some hard one for bonus pts)...deducting points if they have to ask about their common name.\n\nItems can included leaves, feathers, rocks, etc.  Make it a week long project where kids can work in teams.\n\nMy 10th grade Bio teacher did this...and even though we moaned at first at how childish the game was...we all aced our test the following week, and had a good competition.\n\n(We got some sort of reward, but I forget what it was.)

I used to teach three-year-olds. Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but we would have instrument days (kids could bring them from home or we had some at the center) and we would take turns playing for each other, or we would have a parade through the halls, or take them outside (less noise!).  Also, everyone loves freeze dance.  Sometimes we'd just have a dancing party for 15 minutes or so (especially good on a rainy day when they can't get outside).  Another one that they liked was putting on a show. I would have them sit on the carpet, then let them come up one by one (or pick a partner or two if they were shy) and sing songs for everyone. Sometimes they would make up there own song, which was always funny, and we'd try to learn it.   If you are having a "music day" and you post it, most parents will be more than happy to bring in musical toys and games to share.

Buy movies and make popcorn. Set out a stereo with a bunch of your daughter's favorite CDs for them to dance to. In the morning, make a scavenger hunt around the house, each clue leadings your daughter and her friends to a different small prize. And for you, don't expect to get too much sleep ;)

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.

I am a teacher and I find this a funny question.\n\nHow about spending some quality time with your children.......go swimming with them,play board games, go to the park, go to the library, read to them. \n\nThe time goes so fast. Soon enough they will be out on their own and you will wonder where the time went. Try to enjoy the time you have with them instead of wishing they were at school.

Make it Fun!!! Tell some jokes...show some movies...do ANYTHING that other (boring) teachers don't do. No matter what you do, though, always MAKE IT FUN.

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!!!!!!!

Try this: Stand in front  of some primary schools for a least 3 days in your local area after school lessons finishes and observed the children way of behaviour, they way they talk, the neatness of their uniform and the mannerism with other peers.

For preschoolers, I would have a lot of action and songs.  Examples would include showing them and having them practice Stop Drop and Roll.  Feel free to email me for a cute short song that you could teach them.  Another idea is to have plastic items (from a toy bag purchased at the Dollar Store or Big Lots).  Have them name the different items...firefighter, fire truck, ambulance, etc.  End with a short story...I have various titles in my fire box and would be happy to share with you the titles...Clifford is just one off hand and it comes with a tape.  Another activity you could do for them is to go to the local fire dept and see if they would allow you to record various sounds...sirens, 911 operator, the person who announces a fire, water, maybe a firedog barking etc... or take your video camera or even camera to take photos.  Perhaps you could even arrange for them to visit your school or you go to them.  Also, ask them if they have any coloring books.  One last thought, try various websites for coloring pages and lesson plans (educational sites).  Have fun!!!!!

there are lots of activities for this age group...\n\nmovement...use music by raffi, greg and steve, and hap palmer...try freeze dance, popcorn dance, use bean bags or nerf balls to go with the music (you can even use basic musical instruments like tamborines, maracas, and drums)\n\nreading/and listening activity....choose an age appropriate book, flannel board story, or fingerplays and tell the story you can give the pieces to individual children after you have read the story a few times and let them help with the story. children of this age are beginning to understand how to listen too and story tapes with a book are sometimes fun if they are not too long...\ncooking or science can be done too....usually making things like pudding or jello, even making popsicles works, science projects like rolling items down a long or wide board is sometimes fun too. i even carved a pumpkin with a group of this age....i did have an assistant to be sure no one got a hold of the knife but the children enjoyed helping clean out the seeds and touching and smelling the parts of the pumpkin..\n\nthere are some great books for teachers of this age too...my favorite is teachable 2's sorry dont remember the author, but ck in the lakeshore catalog for it.
