Take some time to build and play with base ten blocks!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Base Ten Blocks (also known as "Base 10 Blocks" and "Place Value Blocks") is an online mathematical manipulative that helps students learn addition, subtraction, number sense, place value and counting. It lets them investigate how to regroup and solve problems with whole numbers and eventually fractions and decimals.

Overall, Base Ten Blocks provides a visual foundation for the abstract algorithms we want students to use as they grow.

Try creating a collaborative drawing

From Reggio Kids
What you need: some sheets of paper

Number of players: two or more

The end result will depend on how much paper you have and how many people play.

The game consists of players taking it in turns to make drawings of animals.

One person begins by drawing an animal or part of an animal on the paper, without telling the others what it is. Then they fold the paper to cover the drawing and pass the paper on.

The second player has to connect up with the end of the first person’s covered drawing and use it to start a new one of a different animal or part of an animal. Then, in turn, they pass the paper on to the next player, careful to hide their own drawing.

The number of turns will depend on the number of players. If people are keen to carry on you can add more sheets of paper to your scroll.

When everyone has finished, spread out the paper and you’ll find you have a small zoo, where each animal has been created from the one before.

Grab a balloon and make a squeezy stress ball to help you unwind like we did in the Go Noodle video

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A squeezy ball is a small object that is squeezed in the hand and manipulated by the fingers.
It can be the object to grab when you're feeling like you need a little stress relief.

Adults AND children can greatly benefit from making and owning their own squeezy ball.

Many doctors and therapists will often recommend their patients to use squeezy balls

because they greatly assist by -

improving muscle strength in the hand (fine motor)

assist in concentration

assist in labour &

relieve stress and muscle tension

_________________________________________________

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN SQUEEZY BALL

I purchased balloons from 'Toys R Us'.

They were only $1 each, which went to charity, and they were larger than what you'd normally find.

You need to add as much flour into the balloon as you can.

Okay, so I don't own a funnel so I had to get creative and open the balloon end with a ice-cream scoop.

It actually worked and I was able to get the flour in there. Hooray!

Once you have as much flour in the balloon as you possibly cram in, add only a teaspoon of water.

Using your hand massage the balloon and try and spread that water throughout the mixture.

It should start feeling like a dough on the inside.

Now it's up to you as to what texture you'd like your balloon to have. Obviously the more water you add the more of a slimy feel it's going to be. I personally wanted a squeezy ball that I could mold. If you're like me then don't add too much water but just enough to create that dough inside the balloon.

Once you're happy with your newly created squeezy ball then tie off the end.

You might like to draw a face on your squeezy ball.

I suggest drawing a calming face to help in those stressful situations.

You might also like to get the kids to make their own crazy characters.

Here I am using a hot glue gun to add googly eyes.

A large purple pompom did the trick for hair.

Development Goal

To develop students' imaginations, creative thinking and listening to directions.

Before You Start

Skills Practiced: Jogging, jumping, running, ducking and following instructions

Have students stand on their home bases

How to Play

Tell all of the students to imagine that they are not on the yard, but that they are in a forest.

Explain that the class is going to be explorers going on a walk through the forest using their imaginations.

Have all the students walk in place while you describe the trip the class is taking through the woods. Occasionally have the students duck under "branches" and jump over fallen "trees."

Slowly begin to speed up the pace the children are walking.Maybe you hear something coming and you speed up so it doesn't catch the class. Soon the class is jogging in place instead of walking.

Suddenly yell that there is a bear or some kind of predator chasing them and speed the jog to a run.

Add in the "branches" and the "fallen trees" so that the students are warming up their other muscles as well by jumping and ducking.

After the students are winded, slow them down again.

Next you can pretend to "swim" across a river or "climb" tree or cliff.

Anything other variation that requires movement at different speeds and loosens the body is great.

The activity can carry on for however long and however silly as necessary.

Variations

After students are familiar with this warm-up, it's fun to have their input on the type of story to tell or journey to take - the beach, a hike through the mountains, etc.

CHICKEN LITTLE

The cautionary tale of un poulet tout à fait normal who unfortunately believes everything he reads on the internet. This story is written in the present tense, and the audio is a little faster than our other stories.

The Bird and the Whale

Our first ever original tale: A whale and a bird fall in love. Everything is perfect. But the world doesn't stop turning just because a bird and a whale fall in love. Soon they need to fight to stay together. A story for adults as much as children.

The Three Little Pigs

Once upon a time there were three pigs who decide to build their own houses, only to run afoul of a wolf with an insatiable love for des côtelettes de porc. Lots of helpful repetition and pork-related vocabulary in this story.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

A precocious blonde girl breaks into the home of three bears, eats their food, destroys their furniture, and then falls asleep in one of their beds. Plenty of house vocabulary to enjoy in this story.

Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red Riding Hood ignores her mother's advice to "reste sur le chemin," and meets a cunning cross-dressing wolf while chasing butterflies. Are you afraid of Le Grand Méchant Loup?

The Ugly Duckling

The classic tale of a goofy-looking duckling who finds his place in the world (after he grows into his good looks, of course).

As often as possible, we have been following along with NurtureStore's month of simple play, complex learning. We have shared painting, small world play, play dough play, baking and more. For more information check out their main page for all the details. Today is simple puppet play day! Liam, has in the past, asked to make a sock puppet and I had set aside a sock I had found. Without a mate and a small hole it was perfect. One day I thought...Today is the day!

Making a Sock Puppet Set Up

Making a sock puppet is not as hard as you might think. In fact it is supposed to be simple, simple play right! I do not sew, so that makes it simple right there. Felt glue is a good idea. I set up my favorite tray with bits of this and that for him to pick from to make his puppet. I made sure to add some googly eyes, a nose, a mouth, and a little felt heart! Making a sock puppet doesn't require much more than a sock and whatever you can find! Keep it simple and it will be perfect!

Making a Sock Puppet getting Started

I managed the glue since it was so tough to get out. Why are glue bottles painfully difficult? He added a nose, eyes, a mouth, a heart, hair and ears. That's all he wanted. He likes to keep it simple too! Ultimately, what he really wanted was to put it on his hand and play. Since it wasn't quite dry we had some mishaps with things falling off, but he managed to give a little puppet show just the same! I think a good nights rest for both of them will make for more fun tomorrow and maybe we will even add more to it or get busy making a sock puppet friend to join the fun! This simple play project of making a sock puppet couldn't have gone smoother!

Making A Sock Puppet Play

Our afternoon activity for making a sock puppet was wonderful and simple. It cost nothing but the time was priceless. I will save all our old socks for homemade sock puppets now. Making a sock puppet is a must do activity for any child. Turn a cardboard box into a simple puppet theater like this one from P is For Preschooler and you are good to go for a great afternoon of imaginative, simple play!

I hope you enjoyed our simple play for today!

Try a German Game: Topfschlagen
(Hit the Pot)

(Owlie LOVES this game)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A friend of mine shared a fun game they play at birthday parties in Germany. It's called "Topfschlagen" or "Hit the Pot." Here's how you play:

A circle is formed by the party guests with one child in the middle. That child is the seeker and wears a blindfold. The other kids turn the seeker around 2 or 3 times, in order to lose orientation.

Meanwhile, the birthday child hides a small cooking pot somewhere in the same room. There is a prize inside the pot (or under an overturned pot).

The seeker is then given a wooden spoon and told to start looking. The seeker must crawl around the floor, banging his spoon on any object he comes across.

The other children help by crying out "warm," "hot," or "cold" depending on how near or far the seeker is from the pot.

When the seeker finally bangs on the pot, it will make a distinct clanging sound and he'll know he's found it. He's then allowed to take off his blindfold and claim the prize in the pot.

The game is played over again until everyone has had a turn and found a prize.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
From time to time, it's a great idea to set challenges for your kids. These should be fun activities that are possible for them to complete. This will help them to develop creativity and problem solving skills. More importantly, they will build their confidence as they succeed. As long as the exercises are fun, it will never be a chore and they will see them more as games.

12 Interesting Challenges for Your Kids to Try:

In this list, we recommend 12 challenging activities that you can set for your children. These challenges will encourage them to come up with creative methods and solutions to complete the task. Some of these activities require a little preparation and some don't require any extra materials.

1. No Thumbs

Tape your kids thumbs to the side of their hands and challenge them to do basic tasks such as opening a door or using a phone. Be sure that the tape is not too tight as you don't want to hurt them, but you may want to use something strong such as duct tape. It doesn't sound too difficult since they still have all their fingers, but it's surprising how much we use our thumbs! If they get through the basic tasks, have them do something even more challenging such as writing or tying shoelaces.

2. The other hand

Rather than restricting their thumbs, have them try to do everything with their non-dominant hand. If they're right-handed, they have to complete tasks with their left hand instead, or vice versa. This won't work with ambidextrous youngsters though! Challenge them to write their name or brush their teeth.

3. Pick it up with your feet

Moving further down the body, you can also have your kids try to carry out similar tasks with their feet. They can try basic tasks such as picking things up and opening a door, but also drawing and painting. They'll definitely enjoy seeing their own feet-art!

4. Build a house of cards

Easy in principle but not so much in practice! The goal here is to build a structure out of playing cards; a house and a roof. Balancing cards on one another is not easy and it becomes more difficult as you build up the cards and they get higher. Plus, changing the shape when you get to the roof will make the structure even more wobbly.

5. Catch coins from your elbow

Have your little one rest the back of their hand on the same shoulder, so their elbow should be pointed out and the underside of the arm facing up. Then they place a coin on their arm, just above the elbow. The idea is to quickly draw your elbow into your side so that the coin flies into the air, and at the same time, flip the arm over so that they can catch the coin. It's tough to catch just one coin but you can up the ante by having them catch a stack of coins.

6. Can you wiggle your face?

Best played in a group, have your kids see who can wiggle different parts of their face without moving the whole thing. They can try wiggling their ears, nose, eyebrows or go cross-eyed. This will get lots of laughs as they see that some people can do it and some can't at all. It's also interesting to see the direction in which they wiggle their features, can your nose go up and down as well as side to side?

7. Different accents

The rules are simple: do your best accent! Deciding the accents is half the fun; your kids could write down countries and challenge one another. They could pick the countries from a hat or even choose on a globe. If they don't know how their chosen accent should sound, they should make it up. Alternatively, you could have them watch videos of different accents and try to imitate those. This can be fun if you want to tackle regional accents in the UK or the States for example.

8. Blindfold

Have your youngsters carry out tasks or games blindfolded. The idea is that the games should be something they would usually do being able to see. For example, you could ask them to draw a picture, even describing exactly what you want them to draw. Tasks could also include making something from playdough or clay, or pouring water into a container. You may want to take some of these outside as they can get messy!

9. One Minute Games

Pretty straight forward; players have one minute to complete these challenges. You just need to time them and see how far they get in one minute. The tasks should be possible to complete in one minute, but not easy. Some ideas include having all of the picture cards in a deck shuffled and face down, and then players have to sort them into their suits in order. Or stacking chapsticks in a tower using chopsticks to pick them up. More ideas can be found .

10. Seven Second Games

Similar to the one minute games, these challenges have to be completed in seven seconds. The ideas are quite different from the minute games because these challenges need to be possible to do in seven seconds and have a fun outcome. The goal is to see how you do in seven seconds rather than whether you can actually complete the task. For some great ideas, check out .

11. Not my arms

You'll need an even number of players for this game as everyone will need to pair up. One person sits behind another and threads their arms through the first person's arms. The first person should put their hands behind their backs to make their arms into a loop. Then the first player tells the second one what they are doing. Players could brush their hair or teeth. The idea is that the tasks involve both players.

12. Guess who

One person has to imitate a person and the other players have to guess who it is. They can act out celebrities, characters or people you all know such as teachers or friends. The catch is that they can't say anything that will give it away. This includes any popular catchphrases or descriptions of the person's appearance. They need to use gestures and their voice to try and portray the person as best as they can.
