Guess how I take care of it

  • Observation
  • Defence of positive attitudes
  • Appreciation of the well cared environments

The teacher will print form the supplementary material - click to open in a new window: document 1, document 2 y document 3) the pictures about right and wrong actions about the care for plants.

He/she will give each child a model. Children will have to observe the illustrations. The teacher will show them each one of the situations and the children will observe them and say if these situations are good or bad ones.

The pupils will form several groups of six children each. Each group will have two chairs, one chair separated about 5 meters from the other one. The children of each group will make a line behind one of the chairs; on the other chair we will leave as many illustrations as children forming the group. Illustrations must be about the positive situations you have been commenting on before (it doesn't matter if some of the pictures are repeated).

When the teacher says, the first child of each line will run to the second of the chairs of the group. He/she will take one picture and imitate what appears on it; the rest of the group must guess what action is his/her mate miming. Once the group has guessed the action, the child who ran will come back to the line and touch the shoulder of the first of the members of his/her group. Then, this new child will have to do what his/her mate did before. The group that finishes the first will be the winner.

When the game is over the cards that show positive actions will be glued on the mural of the classroom; in this way, everybody will remember them everyday.

 

P.D.: With young children only one group can be formed; we will leave as many cards as children playing. All of them will be winners.
