-When I facilitate physical activities with my colleagues, what makes it easy is the collaboration among us and the teamwork spirit whereby our goal is common.

-With the toddlers, what makes it easy when I facilitate physical activities is the availability of age appropriate materials, safe and spacious spaces.

-It is challenging to facilitate physical activities with toddlers because of their short attention span and one is likely to have unfinished tasks.They also get bored very quickly.

-Activities for infants and toddlers that include movements are beneficial because they support Holistic development.Children will learn best through their bodies and senses.

-To make facilitation smooth and easy;-plan ahead.

-Keep instructions simple .

-adjust activity to individual abilities.

-pay attention to

Children’s needs.

-To set up everyone for success,I need to observe each child’s abilities and comfort levels with the physical activity ,provide a safe environment, give simple and clear instructions ,be calm and give positive reinforcement.

What makes it easy is having someone there to help you with the children to have less pressure on yourself when more than 1 child needs help.

Toddlers like to try new things, so having them enjoy something will make them want to do it more & keep them busy.

When all children are involved, because not all kids want to participate or listen to the activity.

To plan & Prep hours a day ahead for an activity, talking with your colleagues on who’s doing what & helping them understand it also to make the activity smooth and fun.

Having a calm energy, reassure them that they are doing a good job, making sure no one gets hurt during to process. Help as much as I can and also give advice to what I know.

What makes it easy is to make a craft and and then show the kids and make them do the same crafts with the kids but help them.

Toddlers might like to try new things like colouring and playing around and then teach them to cut and glue.

What makes it challenging is that the gets like to run around and play and they can’t sit still for a long time cuz maybe they get bored.

Activities with toddlers and infants could be like sing songs using are hands and show them how the song goes. Use ur

hands to colour to and show them shapes and counting.

Make a schedule snd plan an activity for the kids do instead of always make them play all the time and follow it. It will make it easier if u plan a craft and show the other teachers do the craft and then do it the next day.

How do we set up for success is maybe talk about things with ur teachers and come up a plan and make sure there is communication that is important in a daycare.

When you facilitate physical activities with toddlers what makes it challenging?

What makes it challenging is when kids have more interest in doing other stuff like playing with the toys, rather than listening to the instructions for the activities we give them, so what i like to do is i finish up one sheet myself first to show them what they are doing and also give them a little help along the way.

Children are easily bored so we do quick activities and try move on to the other activities when they are finished so they can enjoy doing that activity again during other times.

What makes it easy when you facilitate physical activities with colleagues is that more hand to help how to do it, explain and demonstrate the activity to the kids.
It makes it easy with toddlers, gather and get ready all the materials you need for the activity and plan how do it with them.More space the better.The acvitivity should be age appropriate.
What is more challenging is some of them don’t want to do it. Some of them likes to grab things and wants to do it first.
Activities for infants and toddlers that include movement is beneficial because it strengthen their muscles, help them think and help them with their balancing.
To make facilitation smooth and easy, study how to do it and plan everything ahead. Be ready before you start the activity.
To set up everything for success, be ready and teamwork is really important. Have fun.Mistakes teach us to be better.Positive attitude!.

It is easy to facilitate physical activity with colleague because you have common goal for the children. Planning together makes it easier so both know and ready when it’s time to do the activity.
Facilitating physical activities with toddlers makes it easier if you planned the activities ahead. This means, all the needed materials are ready, safe space to execute, and giving a clear and simple instruction.
Facilitating Physical activities with toddlers can be challenging, it will test your patience. Toddlers are to fast and have short attention spans, the moment that you start preparing the material, their curiosity ignites. Also, not having the right environment or space can be tough.
Activities for infant and toddlers that include movement is very beneficial to them because that’s how they learn and explore. Movements strengthens their growing muscles and supports brain development. Also, this gives them confidence so they can achieve their milestones.
As an educator, the best advice that I can give to achieve smooth and easy facilitation is planning ahead, gathering all needed materials, set up the space or classroom and ask for help if needed.
To be able to achieve success, make it short and simple and give age appropriate activity. Incorporate some eye catchers or cue words.

BRAINSTORM ABOUT FACILITATING ACTIVITIES WITH INFANTS TODDLERS AND CHILDREN.

Facilitating on physical development through Inuit inspired activities in a daycare. 1. Toddlers keep it short and playful, with lots of laughter and fun. 3. FACILITATION IN THIS ACTIVITY is about guiding, supporting ,and creating opportunities for learning through manful interactions. 2,. I facilitated the activity by setting up space with soft mats and and open areas for crawling. Show them photos of seal toys. 3.make the learning environment safe a supportive for tummy crawl.,and free movement.when the toddler struggle with crawling I support and encourage any movement they feel comfortable with. I try to adjust their body parts to be comfortable for crawling and cheer them up. It is impotent for educators to help facilitate children during all the learning processes. GLORY

When you facilitate physical activities with toddlers what makes it easy?

Toddlers are at the stage were they enjoying the discovery of using their legs to run and walk and do certain movements that they couldn’t as infants. This makes it easy to facilitate physicals activities and they love copying what others in this case the educator will be doing. They are easy to keep engaged by making activities short and fun. You can be making sounds and faces while doing the actual activity. This helps in an avoiding boredom. Encouraging and praising by names helps in keep them in the game and they normally start doing more and showing how good they are.

I find it easy to allow the kids to go at their place and give them turns to prove their ability and a being flexible in scheduling helps that’s way some activities flow int he next without needing transition time.

Most kids are discouraged if they don’t get it at first or if someone does it better. Emphases that its about having fun not wining or who is the best helps. Physical assisting in the posture or position also helps make things smooth or also showing your failures as an instructor helps show that everyone tries until they get it.

~What makes it easy if we have team work, we help each other by dividing the responsibilities before we do the activities.And we always ask each others opinion.

~What makes it easy with the toddlers, when they all listen and cooperate and follow instructions.We make instructions short and demonstrate it with actions,Show them how to do it, as toddlers love to copy.

~What makes it challenging is children easily get distracted with other things around them and they get tired if we keep repeating the instructions.

~Doing activities with movement is so beneficial because it boosts their brain development,motor skills,improve their physical health.Active play can help the child express their feelings.
