Dear Parents,
Our Pre-Kindergarten group continued to improve their gross motor skills throughout November
and December. We were involved in paired activities and visited some new exotic lands and magical
cities. We practiced being respectful and supportive to one another, sharing props and taking turns
in our tries.
Even the most hard-working adventurers and explorers need time to play. So we decided to change
the pace and enjoyed learning to play various group games.
First we went to the coast where we practiced passing a beach ball in pairs and learnt the game “Let
it Shoot”. However, pretend rats appeared and spoiled our fun, so we had to turn into cats and
chase them all around the beach (In a game called “Cat and Rat”). We also refreshed ourselves by
swimming in the ocean and trying to escape from the hungry sharks! (In a game called ‘Sharks and
Sailors”).
Sometimes, when you have fun, you can easily spend a lot of money! Luckily, we heard about a
cave, full of treasure. So we are currently making plans to sneak in there…..and…..
Well, we have to leave some games for the next month!
In all of these games students practiced following directions, taking turns, playing by the rules and
taking on different roles. They also practiced their social skills through group work and cooperation.
