Cut and Paste Activity: Where does food come from?

I shared in my previous blog a powerpoint presentation to be used in discussing the topic on "Where does food come from?" After days of going through the topic, I gave an assignment to my students to bring pictures of food to class. 

They brought pictures the next day and my instruction was for them to simply cut the pictures of food and paste them on their notebook and label the food to where it came from. Because this lesson was on Sinugbuanong Bisaya, so they will have to label it "T" if the food comes from Tanom (Plant) and "H" if from Hayop (Animal).

Rather than letting them draw (which they couldn't do perfectly), this is a good alternative.

Note: These are actual work of students.

Face Shapes

This activity on shapes promotes creativity among children and develops eye-hand coordination. It also shows their learning on the basic shapes. Not only that, they also enjoy doing the activity and compare their art work to their classmates. 

Materials: 
1. Bond Paper
2. Colored Papers
3. Glue
4. Scissors

Procedure:
1. Make sure to introduce the different shapes first. Put a sample of artwork in front. 
2. Have them cut a big circle from one of their colored papers. Paste on a bond paper.
3. Instruct them to cut shapes that will become the different parts of the face. Allow creativity

Note: The picture above are sample outputs of students.

Teaching numbers with shapes

Materials needed:
1. a "bingo shapes" card (see photo)
2.  flashcard for each shape (folded)
3. glue
4. crayons

Procedure:
Today, my lesson in Math was on the number 4. For the past few days, my students can already identify and count the first three numbers. I used the following simple yet enjoyable time-on-task activity for kids. It does not only develop the skill of counting numbers but also the eye-hand coordination and coloring skills of the kids. This is also a good review for identifying different shapes.

1. Distribute the bingo shapes card to each students. Tell them to paste the card to their notebooks. Assist students who need help with the glue.
2. Hold the flash cards of shape and fold them in such a way that the kids could not see the shape drawn in each card.
3. Ask the pupils to get the red crayon and raise them.
4. Once you have seen that all the students were able to raise the red crayon, call one child to select a card (the ones that you folded) and let him/her show the card to the classmates. Ask "what shape can you see?"
5. Assuming that the child selected the heart shape, then say "color all the heart shape in your card red".
6. Once the children are done with the coloring, tell them to count the number of hearts. Expected answer is 4.
7. Repeat procedure #s 3 to 6 but use different colors for different shapes. Make sure to let the students count each shape after coloring to emphasize the number 4.

Yarn tracing activity

It's the end of the first week of classes and I would like to share to you a very simple activity to help kids remember letters and sounds, which I did last Tuesday after I taught them the letters "m" "a" and "s". 
I also use this to help students learn the proper way of writing letters and improve their eye-hand coordination.

The kids enjoyed doing the activity too.

Materials needed:
1. yarn
2. glue
3. bond paper with written letters
