Young children especially infants and toddlers explore the world with their five senses.

They use their sight, smell, touch, hearing and taste to make sense of their physical environment, objects and the people around them.

In your breakout rooms, pick one of the above senses and discuss how an educator can encourage play in a young infant/toddler. ]]> 2022-02-25 14:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/michelleclareang/bo4gczushmgcjgeq/wish/2066458163 Group 1 (Ms Az, Ms Hema, Ms Mei Yun, Ms Aini) https://padlet.com/michelleclareang/bo4gczushmgcjgeq/wish/2067173416 Sense of touch/sight:

During a rainy day, bring children outdoor and let them hear the sound of rain and then when we come back to the classroom, teacher use musical instruments to imitate the rain sound.

For toddlers, loud of soft sound they can wear their shoes in the classroom and teach them to stomp their feet showing this is loud sound. Tip toe to show soft sound. For example an elephant stomps its feet so it makes a louder sound. 

Show a picture of a cat .Make the sound of animals for example mimick the sound of a cat "moew, meow". Different animal makes different sounds.

Use bells to make sound so that children know when you shake the bell makes the sound.
