Best teaching methods for kindergarten

Kindergarten is the second place after home where children spend a maximum amount of time. It is also the place where children are not accompanied by their parents or guardians. Hence, kindergarten should be like a second home for kindergartners to learn and grow in life. There are many excellent teaching methods for kindergarten children which can make them feel at home.

Below are the best teaching methods for kindergarten children:

• Sometimes kids feel more comfortable if  instructors are cooperative and friendly. Hence, a kindergarten instructor should understand that children need a lot of pampering. This should not result to over pampering though; moderation while pampering is required to maintain a balance in the class dynamics.
• They should inculcate fun activities with learning like reciting rhymes with dancing. This will make children to remain active and also enjoy learning.
• They should have some time for theater. During theater time they should listen to and partake in the pictorial representation of moral stories. This method of learning stories will have a lasting impact on children and also inculcate moral values.
• They should be taken out to the playground for outdoor activities. Playing in the sand and other outdoor activities will make them feel lighter and happier. With this approach children won’t get bored and will enjoy school.
• Since a majority of parents reside in cities, city life has restricted or limited interaction with domestic animals. Kindergarten instructors can arrange visits to a farm and create awareness about their importance in our lives.
• A wildlife tour can also be arranged. Like a tour to a nearby zoo.
• Educators can engage kids in protecting and conserving animals and the environment around us. Environmental protection awareness can be triggered through a ‘one child one tree’ planting exercise. At the end of the year, children can come back to see how far their plants have grown.
• Make them aware that each and every one in the class is important and ensure that group work is practiced.
• Kindergartners can engage in sporting activities to make them strong and active. They can inculcate yoga and other light physical exercises that suit the child’s age.
• Make learning fun and simple through illustrations; children get involved easily when their real-world surroundings are represented as illustrations. Hence, emphasize more on real-life examples for children to learn easily. Get them crayons to draw and color different objects in around them.
• Keep the classroom decorated with pictures that are engaging for students. This in turn will make students love their classroom.
• As you interact with  children, give them descriptive words and make them differentiate the words. This in turn will enhance their vocabulary. There are many instances where children start speaking fluently with better vocabulary after joining kindergarten.
• And most importantly, be attentive to children’s needs. They might not be able to express it properly; hence  instructors should have a good entente with their children.
