Today's exciting homemade pom pom turn-taking game is a really fun way to help your child develop the skill of sharing, as well as learning to be patient and a good sport. It also incorporates some fundamental math skills of estimating and counting in a highly engaging way.
This post includes Amazon Affiliate links. Please see Disclosure for more details.
I was given permission to share today's activity from the fabulous new book, 101 Kids Activities That Are the Bestest, Funnest Ever!: The Entertainment Solution for Parents, Relatives & Babysitters! by Holly Homer and Rachel Miller.

These ladies run the well-known Kids Activities Blog which is filled with fun and creative ideas for play for kids of all ages.

Materials:

How to Play the Turn-Taking Game:

Setting Up

To set-up, you will need to fill the strainer with pompoms. Then poke the wooden sticks (or pipecleaners) through one side of the strainer and out the other side so the pompoms are trapped in the strainer.

Once all the sticks are in, turn the strainer upside down and prop it up on some books.

Playing the Game

Now, the turn-taking game begins! Each player may pull a stick out from the strainer and collect all the pompoms that drop out.

Keep taking turns until all the pompoms have dropped out.

It gets really exciting near the end of the game when tons of pompoms all of a sudden start coming out like an avalanche with each pull of the stick!

Enhancing the Learning

As we were playing, each time the pom poms dropped, we practised counting how many had come out. This got a little difficult near the end of the game when lots of pom poms started coming out at once, but by that point, we had already gotten in lots of practise counting!

According to the 101 Kids Activities book, the winner of the game is the one with the fewest pom poms at the end. But you could also play it so that the winner has the most pom poms. OR, downplay having a winner at all.

Because I don't want to introduce competitive games with my son yet, we downplayed the whole winner bit. Instead, when all the pom poms had fallen out, we looked at each person's pile and I asked my son who had the most and who had the least.

I found it really interesting that he said that I had the most when I had about 10 pompoms and he had this pile! Lol! I guess we'll have to work on this concept some more! Good to know!

Reflections..

Overall, my son really liked this game and so did I! It was fun taking turns and it was exciting waiting to see what was going to drop out when you removed the stick.

Just a warning - if you decide to play this game, do NOT leave the room for a minute and leave your child with the pompoms, or you may end up with a mess like this!

Passing the Ball Cooperative Children Music Game Activity

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It's my first day of school! I love this time of year, all fresh starts and possiblities! Team builder games are one of my favorite things to do in the classroom during the first few weeks and I'm sharing a few of my favorites with you today.

No doubt you've been forced to play this game at some point in your life.

It's pretty simple:

Stand in a circle.

Hold hands.

Pass a hula hoop around without letting go.

Even though this seems like a no brainer, most of my kids haven't played it and they think it's really fun. I like to start with small groups - 5 or 6 kiddos - and build up to my whole class. Or, as pictured here, our school wide team of about 50 kids in kindergarten through 4th grade. With that many kids we ended up using about 8 hula hoops to keep the wait time down.

Here's another simple hula hoop game: Blast Off!

It works best with group so of 4-6 kiddos who are about the same size.

To play:

Start with a hula hoop on the floor and the kiddos standing around it.

Each student puts ONE FINGER under the hula hoop.

Then the group works together to lift the hula hoop above their heads - holding the hula hoop with only one finger each!

By far the absolute favorite game we played was Perimeter Pass.

To play:

Students lay on their backs with their feet against the wall.

The first student holds a large exercise ball against the wall with her feet, then passes the ball to the person next to her.

After passing the ball, students can run to the end of the line to continue the game.

Keep passing the ball as long as you can. For an extra challenge try going around some corners!

I didn't manage to get any pictures of my kiddos playing this one, but it is hilarous!

Each students needs one balloon or playground ball.

Place the balloon on your belly.

Line up directly behind a friend, pinning the balloon between you.

Continue forming a line: student, balloon, student, balloon, student, balloon....

Now: Try to walk without touching the balloons or letting them drop!

Guaranteed to have your class giggling!

Last, but not least: Hot Lava!

You know you played this when you were little....you jumped from pillow to pillow because the floor was hot lava!

This team builder is basically the same idea, but with a team building twist.

To play, you will need carpet squares or floor dots, slightly fewer than you have students.

Set a starting and ending point, then give about three quarters of your class a carpet square.

The goal is to get your entire class to the ending point by making a path with the carpet squares and without touching the floor.

Caution: my class got really good at this, but they were REALLY LOUD! You might want to take your class outside or to a hallway without many classrooms.

Patience is the ability to wait for something without getting upset and still being positive.

It's important for kids to learn patience as it can benefit their health, relationships, and success in the long-term.

Learning patience can take some time to develop, so activities are very useful.

Every adult knows that kids often find it challenging to wait for things. This is a struggle not only for the child, but also for the adult who wishes to teach their children how to be more patient. As difficult as it may be, it is not impossible; teaching patience activities can do wonders to your child's need for instant gratification. Here, we'll talk about how to teach kids patience, why it is so important, and some of the activities that you can do together.

Definition of Patience for Kids

Simply put, patience is the ability to wait for something without getting upset and maintaining a positive attitude. Kids who are patient remain calm, even if they feel quite impatient that things are taking longer than they expect. Patience involves some degree of acceptance and tolerance, and it is often easier to practice when there is a goal or reward to look forward to.

The Importance of Teaching Patience to Kids

The importance of kids learning patience is that it teaches them delayed gratification. This is the lesson that you must sometimes wait to get what you want; it does not always come to you immediately. This in turn helps them with their health, relationships, and other benefits in adulthood such as career success and fulfillment.

10 Teaching Patience Activities for Kids

Teaching patience to kids can be somewhat challenging. Here are some of the best patience activities that you can try with your kids:

1. Taking turns

Taking turns is a great way to practice patience with your kids. Whether you are taking turns holding a toy or another activity, this will help teach kids that sometimes it's okay to wait for fun things. It will also let them get used to others having fun while we wait. You can also keep patience handouts around the house to remind your kids of why this lesson is important. This is a great activity for kids aged 4 and above.

2. Egg and spoon walk

The egg and spoon walk is often done as a race. Instead, instruct your child to walk carefully from the start to finish line so as not to break the egg. After the game, emphasize how walking slowly and carefully allowed them to finish the game without breaking the egg. You can also ask them how it felt to move slowly despite wanting so badly to get to the finish line. This is a great activity for kids aged 5 and up.

3. Catch the drizzle

The next time it rains or drizzles, ask your kid to get a deep jug or bowl and place it on the windowsill. Instruct them to wait until it fills up with rainwater. They might get antsy waiting for the jug to fill up, but it is a great way to teach them how to be patient if they want to see the results they want. You can do this with kids as young as 4 years of age.

4. Pass the parcel

Another way to teach patience to your kids is through a game called pass the parcel. Wrap a gift in as many layers as you can. Pass it to your children, who should each unwrap a layer before passing it on to the next person. This will teach your kids to patiently wait until the last layer is removed before they can finally see the gift. This can be done with kids aged 4 and up.

5. Grocery shopping list

It is never too early to show your child how to buy things in a grocery store. Involve them by asking them to make their own list. The objective is to keep your child occupied and waiting impatiently while you shop. As your child makes their own list of things to buy, they will also learn the different names of the fruits, vegetables, and other products at the store. When the time comes to pay at the counter, hand your child the money (under close supervision, of course) and let them be the one to pay the cashier. Involving them this way will prevent them from getting bored and impatient. You can do this with your 5 year old or older kids.

6. Cooking and baking

One of the activities to teach patience to kids that you can take advantage of right at home is baking and cooking. There are so many chances for your kids to develop patience when they are in the process of creating food. You have have them stir a mixture or wait for the dough to rise. Cooking and baking requires a lot of patience that will still keep your child engaged. This is great for kids 6 and up.

7. Jigsaw puzzle

Puzzles may frustrate your children at first, but they are excellent tools for improving focus, concentration, and patience. It takes time to find the right pieces, figure out where they fit, and then finally complete the entire picture. You can start with smaller puzzles, and then as your child begins to get better at them, slowly move on to more complicated puzzles. There are puzzles suitable for all ages.

8. Make a terrarium

Doing any activity that requires watching something grow is a great way to develop patience in your child. A terrarium is a sealable ecosystem that your child can make. They have to wait for plants to grow, so it will certainly test their patience. You can take this opportunity to talk to your child about the importance of waiting, especially for things to grow. Children at 6 years old can start to make their own terrarium with your guidance.

9. Gardening

Similar to creating a terrarium, children can get engaged with gardening to learn patience. Teaching your child the consistent effort needed to care for plants in order to watch them bloom and bear fruit can be a rewarding experience, making the waiting process worth it. Allow your child to plant some seeds, water them every day, then see the sapling grow into a plant that may even bear fruit or flowers. Gardening can be done by kids aged 5 and up.

10. The silence game

This activity is simple enough to do at home or in the classroom. Dim the lights and ask your child to sit with you on the floor and be as quiet as they can for as long as possible. Sit with them in complete silence. After a few minutes, break the silence and ask them how it felt. Patience often requires us to sit with our feelings quietly, and this is an excellent way to practice it. You can do this with kids as young as 4 years old; just vary the amount of time that you stay quiet depending on your child's tolerance for waiting.

The Bottom Line

Teaching patience to a child is no easy task. The best way to approach this is to provide your kids with an environment that is both predictable and stimulating. This will help them exercise more self-control and patience since they know what is expected of them in different situations. These activities teaching kids patience can also be supplemented by character education posters, which teaches them other related values, like fairness and gratitude.

What is an Optical Illusion?
Optical Illusions can use color, light and patterns to create images that can be deceptive or misleading to our brains. The information gathered by the eye is processed by the brain, creating a perception that in reality, does not match the true image. Perception refers to the interpretation of what we take in through our eyes. Optical illusions occur because our brain is trying to interpret what we see and make sense of the world around us. Optical illusions simply trick our brains into seeing things which may or may not be real.

Try out some of these illusions and discover just how tricky it can be for your brain to accurately interpret the images from your eyes. Click on any of the images below to begin your exploration of optical illusions.
