FREE Preschool Activity Plan – June 15th – 21st

This week is the last week for our free preschool activity plan. It’s summer break so that means we get to do CAMP LEARN & PLAY our at-home summer camp. This will be the 5th summer of camp and we’ve added more themes for you to choose from. Check it out here. Our preschool plans for working parents and busy families have been super popular because anyone can do this. This preschool activity plan is simple, it uses things you probably have around your house or can get easily even during social distancing, and I will walk you through each activity.  There is no doubt that one activity a day won’t replace preschool or your child’s day at daycare, but this isn’t meant to. My goal is to give you one idea a day that you can do, and hopefully, after a few days or weeks, you have learned so many ideas you can fit more in when you have time.

For more simple ideas, check out the previous week’s plans by clicking the links below.

Preschool Activity Plan – Activity Details

Musical Letters

Get some plain paper and write letters on them.  Use a mix of letters, but there is no need to use all twenty-six. Place them around a room with the furniture pushed aside, so there is room to move and groove when the music plays. Play the music and groove. Pause the music and CALL out a letter. Your child should stand on that letter. Repeat! If you only get to one activity from this preschool activity plan this week, please do this one!

Make it easier -> Use only a few letters and make them all different colors. When it’s time to call out the letter, call it out as ” RED H” or “BLUE T” whatever colors the letters are. This gives your child help to find the letters since they have the color as a hint.

Make it harder -> Make or write sight words instead of letters. Find sight words here.

Number Hunt

Scavenger hunts are always fun, and after many weeks at home, let’s make sure kiddos are moving, even if they are stuck inside. Use some post-it notes numbers or just use paper, and hide them all over!  Use at least ten and hide them around your home. Now it’s time to go hunting! What numbers did you find?

Make it easier -> Hunt together!

Make it harder –> Use a second set of post-it notes and line them up on your wall to make a number line. As your child find a hidden number have them come and match it up to the number line.

Art

Make some heart art and send your creation to a friend or family member you haven’t seen during the quarantine. You can use plain crayons and paper or make something more in-depth. Get some ideas for heart art here.

Make it easier -> Keep it simple with crayons and paper.

Make it harder -> you can’t make art harder, but you can extend the learning to include writing a note or letter to the person you are sending it to.

Build A Tower … or a bridge

Make a tower with whatever you have on hand. How tall can you make a tower out of soup cans? What about pillows? Lego?

Make it easier –> If you have blocks stick to that to keep frustration levels lower.

Make it harder –> Make a bridge instead. Can you use items from around the house to make a bridge between two chairs? How much weight can it hold?

Science of Smell

Which smells better? Go on a nature walk around your yard and find some items to bring in and smell. Which smells the best? Which smells the worst?

Make it easier -> Keep the walk short and to the point.

Make it harder -> After you get home draw a picture of the best and nastiest smelling find from your walk.
