Adaptation Dynamics for Early Childhood Education

We selected in this post some tips and suggestions for Adaptation Dynamics to work with students from early grades and early childhood education.

At dynamics they are instruments, tools that are part of a process of formation and organization, which enable the creation and recreation of knowledge. We are offering dynamics that were extracted from some handouts and books. We hope they will be of great use.

Adaptation Dynamics for Early Childhood Education

Chair Dance with Names

objective: Recognize the writing of your name from the writing of the names of all colleagues.

Materials:

• Cards with the writing of all names (one for each name) and chairs.

Procedures:

The teacher asks the children to make a circle with the chairs. Afterwards, he distributes the cards with the names so that the children can put them on the chairs. The chair dance begins, where at the end of the song, each person must sit on the chair where the card with their name appears. Play the game several times, always changing the chairs.

Adaptation Dynamics - PHOTO CALL

Time: 30 minutes.
Space: Classroom.
Age: From 1 year and a half.

Material:

• cardboard or paperboard;
• individual photo of the children;
• thin felt-tip pen and plastic binder.

Objective: Meet the colleague.

Preparation: On pieces of cardboard or card stock, write each child's name in block capital letters and glue a picture of them. Plasticize for greater durability (use Contact®).

Description:
Place all cards on a table or on the floor, with the photo and name facing down. One child at a time takes a card and hands it to the classmate who appears in the photo. The teacher then says the name of the “discovered” child to encourage recognition by the group. Another way to carry out the activity is to leave the cards spread out on the table with the photo facing up. Ask each person to take their card and stick it on the call panel, a kind of shoe rack with transparent pockets, which can be made on a cardboard base. As this is a call, it is possible to repeat this activity daily, when all the children are present, during the first months of the year. Resume it if a new member joins the group.

Adaptation Dynamics - Collective History

Goal: develop fantasy and reflection on the group's rapport.
Feature: imagination, verbalization, speed, team spirit.

Description:

1. Sitting in a circle, someone starts a story (preferably with a fantastic and stimulating plot).
2. The story is completed by the fellow neighbor on your right and so on until everyone contributes to this crazy story.
3. It ends when everyone has contributed to the story.

Comments:

The educator (coordinator) must emphasize that a fundamental rule of the game is the non-interruption of the story, that is, when receiving the plot passed by the colleague on his left, the participant must immediately continue the story with a relative coherence.

Adaptation Dynamics - Feeling Ball

Objective: promote the integration of the group.

Description:

• List virtues and feelings and write on paper or labels to stick on a ball. Ex: love, forgiveness, tolerance, anger, joy, sadness, peace, rancor, solidarity etc.
  In a circle, throw the ball to the colleague who removes a pasted tag and talks about that feeling or virtue and why he chose it.

Adaptation Dynamics - BADGES and/or FILES WITH FIRST NAME

1. The teacher shows the badge, reads the name and hands it to the student.
2. The badges are placed on the floor in the middle of the wheel, allowing each student to recognize theirs by taking it from the group of others.
3. The teacher turns the badge face down on the floor and plays with the memory game students.
4. Individual call, where the teacher presents the badge and each student recognizes theirs.
5. The teacher presents the form with each student's first name to make the call.
6. The chips are on the pleated poster. The teacher says the student's name and he looks for his record on the poster.
7. The teacher gives the student the form of his/her name and the corresponding movable letters. The child in view of the model forms its name.
