Activities for Maternal 1 and 2

We selected in this post several jokes and Activities for Maternal, ready to print and apply to early graders. They are great resources for working in the classroom with students.

The child's first contact with schools begins with the nursery school. Teachers are a fundamental part of this process, and for that, we've gathered here in this post the best activities for motherhood, check out:

Maternal Activities - Dragon Tail

Development

• All participants stand in a single line with their hands on each other's waists, forming a dragon. The first member of the line, representing the dragon's head, will aim to catch the last member of the line, which will represent the tail. At the educator's signal, the "dragon" will move, running moderately, under the command of the head, which will try to catch the tail. This, in turn, will make moves to prevent this from happening. The game will continue as long as the children's interest lasts.

Maternal Activities – The sorcerer and the statues

Necessary material

• None.

Development

• Participants stand, dispersed in a defined area for play. A volunteer will be the “sorcerer” who will chase the others. At the educator's signal, the pursuit begins, and whoever is touched will be “bewitched”: motionless with legs apart, representing a “statue”. The other companions will be able to pass under the legs of the “statues”, saving them from the “spell”. After some time, the “sorcerer” should be replaced. The game will continue as long as there is interest from the group.

Necessary material

• A toy.

Development

• The educator hides any toy (the “burnt cookie”), while the participants have their eyes closed. Then he yells, “Burnt cookie!”, and the others have to try to find him. When a child gets close to the “burnt cookie”, the educator shouts his name and says: “It's hot!”. If it's far away, he yells "It's cold!" Whoever finds the toy first wins.

Activities for Maternal - The postman

Necessary material

• None.

Development

• Participants are seated in a circle. The educator starts by saying: “The postman sent a letter… (suspense) only to those who are wearing a white shirt!”. Anyone wearing a white shirt changes places, but cannot go to the next place. Anyone who can't change places quickly is out of the game. The game continues with varied commands: only for those with loose hair, tied hair, ring, watch, pink, blue… The game continues with the change of postman.
