| Some
preschool children love to talk, while others can be a little bashful
to speak up. Here are some suggestions to help the kids know when it their
turn to answer a question or share an idea. These activities work especially
well with preschool age children. The kids are so excited when it is their
turn, they not only share, but have fun at the same time. |

Take an empty water bottle and decorate
it with strips of colored construction paper. When it is time for the
children share, have them sit in a large circle. Place the bottle in the
middle of the circle and twirl it around. The child the bottle is pointing
to when it stops twirling is the one to answer the question. Then let
that child twirl the bottle. Be sure to give each child an opportunity
to answer a question or to share with the class. To do this you may need
to spin the bottle a few extra times until it points to a child who has
not had a turn. |
