Educational Activities Here are 2 educational activities Early Childhood teachers can use to help in teaching pre-schoolers. Educational Activity 1: Two Player Math GameThis activity allows 2 players and is a Math game based on Addition only. The level of difficulty is appropriate for pre-schoolers who are learning about Math. There are a total of 12 tries for each player. One player plays at a time and player 1 and 2 takes turns in playing the game. A scientist will determine the player's answer, whether it is correct or wrong. The player who answers the most number of questions correctly wins. Teachers can use this game to allow children to have a mini competition and compete among themselves who has the most number of questions answered correctly. A chart can be drawn and teachers can record the scores of children after they played the game. It can also be used to monitor children's progress. Educational Activity 2: Batter's Up Base Ball Math - Addition Edition This activity is about Math-Addition as well. Although it is based on Addition, it is presented in a different way as the first game. This game allows children to select the level of difficulty they want to tackle. The game has 3 levels, 'Single' for the easiest level where children add only single digit numbers, 'Double' where children add 2-digit numbers and the last level, 'Home Run' where children add 3-digit numbers. There is also a timer in the game to time how fast children take to answer the question. If they answer it correctly, the baseball player will play the game gain a point, if they answer wrongly, they will get a strike. Once they accumulate to 3 strikes, they are out of the game and they will have to choose another level and answer the question. Teachers are able to use this game to help teach children Addition in a fun way which, in this game, in the form of a baseball game. Also, teachers are able to record the number of questions children answer correctly or wrongly to monitor their progress. Teachers can also use this game to occupy children while doing small group teaching.
