Good morning, little designers! 🌞 Today, we're going to start our Circle Time with an exciting activity that will let us use our imaginations and creativity. Are you ready to become little inventors? Let's dive in!
To kick things off, let’s go on a Shape Hunt! I want each of you to look around the room and find something that is shaped like a circle. It could be a toy, a book, or even something on your clothes! When you find your circle, give it a gentle clap to let us know!
After our hunt, let’s gather together in a circle. We'll take turns sharing what we found. 📏 Talk about the items you discovered and how they remind you of circles. This will help us to learn about shapes in our world and spark our creativity for the design activities later!
Next, let’s sing our Circle Song! Here’s one we can sing together:
🎵 🎶
"I see a circle, round and bright,
Rolling gently, what a sight!
Big and small, they come in all,
Circles make the world feel tall!"
🎶 🎵
This fun song will get our bodies moving and help us remember how important circles are in our world!
Now that we are all warmed up and excited, let’s move on to the next part of our lesson! We will be using what we've learned about circles to create some amazing designs. Remember, in design and technology, all great ideas start with a shape!
Let’s get ready to unleash our imaginations! 🌈✨
This engaging start will ensure that preschoolers are not only excited about Circle Time but are also ready to explore design through observation, sharing, and collaboration!
