Wall charts at the classroom


Hello students!
When you are working with kids, everyday you need to catch kids’ attention,  So… why do we use the same things?Try something new! what about a wall chart?? A wall chart  is a large poster often displaying information for educational use or entertainment.
Wall charts can be use for teaching colors, members of the family, days of the week, shapes etc.
Show your kids something new and activate your class by moving around these wall charts and their information!.
. Create a wall chart for colors!.
1.      Assign each student one color and ask them to think in things that are from the same color.
2.      Give a construction paper to your students to paste things that are from the same color in it. They can cut magazines or coloring books.
3.      To finish the activity, ask to each student to pass to the front and show their wall charts.
4.      Make comparisons with your wall chart and their papers!
         Encourage your students and give prizes to increase their self esteem!


Be patient! Remember that at early stages their classification skills and reasoning ability are still developing.  This activity will help to  recognize and identify the colors and the differences between the objects from real life,  preschoolers  learn by experiencing and by doing, this kind of activities can also help to stimulate their small muscle control.
