Toddlerhood Classroom Activities:
As a toddler, group activities can be very important. One classroom strategy that could be used is to play games that included working as a social group. This builds skills for the toddler to be able to work with others and get along with others.
Another toddler activity is to find numbers on a desk. For example, put numbers 1-10 on different desks and tell them to go find desk number seven or four. This is an exercise that helps them recognize numbers and symbols.
Middle Childhood: Students should be able to draw their favorite activity by this age. Give them an assignment where they must draw their favorite athlete and tell something interesting about them. If they don’t have a favorite athlete, they can do it with their favorite activity.
Another Social experiment for middle childhood is to work together to find something. Maybe like a scavenger hunt. The twist on the scavenger hunt is, they have to act out what the words on the paper is. For example, if the clue was a stapler, they might act out what the stapler does. This is a great group activity.
Adolescence is a little harder of an age but the sky is the limit for what they can do for activities. For a social activity, let them go around town and asks businesses for a job application. Set up mock interviews. These are social skills that these young men and women will need for a long time.
A classroom activity for an emotional learning exercise would be to write about someone or something that you have lost that meant a lot to you.
