Toddler Activity Pre-Plan: Part Two

1. What concepts or skills are the toddlers exploring or practicing as they participate in your activities today and where will they explore
them? What TTD Chapter are you referencing? TTD Ch. 15: This week’ plan focuses on giving toddlers several opportunities to make
friends and practice emerging social skills. These activities support children’s skills in naming and identifying each other’s names,
participating in group activities and art, and sharing and taking turns with the toys. They will be able to participate in a group art activity
by sharing the butcher paper and art materials. Toddlers will be able to practice names and identifying their peers at the peek-a-boo
center. Toddlers will be able to practice sharing and parallel play the sensory and fine motor centers.
2. What would you like me to specifically observe about your teaching/guidance skills during your lead teaching day?
Section 2 Criteria D. I set expectations, and explain and follow through on expectations appropriately.
Section 3 Criteria D. I transition appropriately between activities.
Section 4 Criteria C. I use appropriate grammar and syntax.

3. Briefly describe your planning for the 12 toddlers in your lab in the chart below and how you anticipate them exploring and practicing
their goal as they participate in the activities you have planned. Remember to talk to your teaching team before you begin this, so
that you are not planning duplicate activities each week. 

Large Group Activity Kenyon


Plan a large group activity that is developmentally appropriate for toddlers and historically and culturally sensitive. Don’t forget to turn in the large group
activity materials with your plan.

Title:

IELG Outcome: IELG D1 G3 Ages 16 to 38 Months CI 8: Shows willingness to try less familiar environments and situations, depending on
temperament.

The skills this activity promotes: Participating in this group activity and discovering their senses as they explore an unfamiliar environment.

Activity Description: The children will have the opportunity to explore a sensory tunnel in which they can crawl through a cardboard box tunnel
and explore their senses as they look at lights and mirrors. They can continue exploring touch senses as they feel the different textures of
materials on the floor while they crawl through the tunnel.

Teacher Script

Introduction Script (What will you say and do to get their attention and introduce the activity?): Hello boys and girls! Today we are going to crawl through a
very exciting sensory tunnel. Where we will use our eyes, ears, and hands when we go through. Where are our eyes? What do our eyes do? What about your
ears. What do we do with our hands? I need you all to line up at the orange tape and we will all get a chance to go through and see all the fun things inside.

Expectations for children (What will you say and do to show the children how to participate in the activity?): I want you all to crawl through the tunnel like
this (have one of the teachers crawl through the tunnel) and then you can see all of the fun things inside. Use your hands to feel all of the materials inside and
touch all of the colored things. You can look at the Christmas lights with your eyes and listen to the bells on your wrists with your ears. I will be waiting on the
other end so you can see me.

Handing out props (how will you hand out props): The children will have the opportunity to wear wristbands with bells on them, to add the sense of sound
to their sensory experience. I will hand out the bells as children approach the tunnel.

During the activity (What are you saying and doing during the activity for the children to model?): Teachers will encourage children to crawl through the
tunnel and will assure them that they are going to see them on the other side. If a child is especially nervous, a teacher can encourage them to just look inside
the tunnel. Boys and girls what did you see in the tunnel? What did you feel with your hands? Practice pointing and labeling objects in the sensory tunnel.

Closing Script (What will you say and do to end the activity and transition to the next thing?): Thank you for going through the tunnel boys and girls! Ask
them what kinds of things they saw or felt.) Boys and girls we now get to go play for a two more minutes, and then we will clean up to go outside. Thank you
for playing in the sensory tunnel with me!

Lead Teaching Date 11/3/16 Submission Date 10/17/2016 Revised Submission Date 10/31/2016

Collecting props (how will you collect the props?): The children will have the opportunity to wear wristbands with bells on them, to add the sense of sound
to their experience. As the children come through the tunnel a final time, they will place their wristbands in a bucket outside of the exit.
