A warm spring hello to all educators! At Piqolo Kids, our aim is to provide elementary teachers with practical and engaging activities that are designed to ignite creativity in young minds. Creativity is not a talent reserved for a select few but a skill that can be nurtured and developed in every student.
In the right environment and with thoughtful guidance, we can cultivate vibrant classrooms where imagination thrives and innovative thinking becomes second nature. Join us as we explore hands-on printable activities and strategies that will inspire your students to think outside the box and confidently express their unique ideas. Let's work together to cultivate a culture of creativity!
For those of you who need a little help integrating creativity into your lesson plans. Here are a few suggestions to help you get started:
Social Studies & Media Awareness - Fake News Check-list (PREMIUM)
With the rise of fake news and misinformation, empowering children with the skills to critically evaluate information becomes an essential part of their education. By fostering a habit of fact-checking, elementary teachers can equip their students with the tools they need to navigate the vast sea of information and make informed decisions.
This printable activity provides practical strategies for educators to incorporate this important topic into their classrooms.
Geography & Wildlife - Animals of South America (PREMIUM)
With its rich biodiversity, South America offers a fantastic opportunity to delve into the fascinating array of species found on this magnificent continent.
By combining the creative activity of drawing and colouring animals with mapping their distribution, students can better understand South American wildlife diversity and its unique geographical features.
In this activity, your students will colour and complete different animals from South America and mark which countries in the continent they can be found.
English Vocabulary - Synonym Supremo: Similar Words Game (PREMIUM)
Synonyms help students expand their vocabulary, enhance reading comprehension, and improve their writing abilities. By learning synonyms, students can express themselves more precisely and avoid repetitive language.
In this activity, your child play a game to try to name as many synonyms listed in the play sheet to get from start to end.
Design and Technology - Design Your Classroom App (PREMIUM)
Elementary teachers can inspire their students to become creators rather than just consumers of technology. A fun way to integrate technology concepts into your lesson plan is through project-based learning (PBL). Here we have an exciting project idea: have your students design their own classroom app.
This activity will allow students to learn the app design process, which involves analysing user problems and identifying solutions. Students will get to design their classroom apps based on their unique experiences and perspectives.
Wildlife and Habitats- Animal Adaptations: Malayan Horned Frog (PREMIUM)
The Malayan Horned Frog is a fascinating amphibian found in the rainforests of Southeast Asia. This species has developed a unique form of camouflage to protect itself from predators and blend seamlessly into its surroundings. With its distinctive shape and colouration, the frog resembles a dead leaf or a piece of forest debris, making it incredibly difficult to spot.
In this printable, we will explore this incredible adaptation and suggest a fun art activity to help students understand and appreciate the wonders of nature.
Food and Nutrition- Does It Contain Milk Game (PREMIUM)
As you navigate the aisles of your favourite grocery store, take a moment to appreciate the omnipresence of milk. Milk is a true culinary companion, from a humble glass of milk before bedtime to the magnificent symphony of flavours in your favourite cheese-topped pizza.
Let's explore the prevalence of milk in all the food and food products in our daily lives through this fun printable explorative activity!
