Activity 1: Science and Technology

Materials: Heavyweight paper, variety of collage materials with different textures (for example,


cotton, sand paper, fabric pieces, feathers, aluminum foil) or any materials (with different textures)

that you have at home.


Vocabulary: Soft, rough, shiny, smooth, hard or bumpy.


Beginning: Introduce the collage materials, and encourage your child to touch and describe the

feeling. Model descriptive words such as: soft, rough, shiny, or bumpy.


Middle: Encourage the child to create a collage with the materials. Use the materials to create


your own collage too. As you are working, continue to describe your work and the materials you


are using. Encourage the child to think of other things in the house that are similar to the


materials he/she is using; “This aluminum foil is shiny, what else is shiny?”. Listen and acknowledge

what the child is saying.


End: Give your child a five-minute warning. Ask him/her to help you put away the materials back


to their place. Talk to your child about his/her collage. Ask open ended questions such as: “I


wonder what you did”.


Duration: 10-15 minutes


Purpose: The purpose of this activity is to use our senses to sort objects by different properties.


Also, classifications help children organize their understanding of the world.









Extension: Go on a treasure hunt around the house. Find items with similar attributes, for example, things that feel soft, rough, slippery, or mushy etc.

Brain Break:

Put your child's favorite music on and let him/her dance freely to burn energy and to feel active.

Activity 2: Math (Counting and number Recognition)

Materials: 3 jars or any containers, 10 x 1 SAR bills, 4 x 5 SAR bills, and 3 x 10 SAR bills (if


you don’t have bills, you could find pictures and print the amount needed)


Vocabulary: Money, buy, purchase, exchange, value, amount, add, etc.


Beginning: Remember to disinfect the bills before using. Show each bill and ask them its value


(1, 5 or 10 SAR?). Ask your child what money is used for. Listen and acknowledge what they


say by adding to their vocabulary new words such as, exchange, value, buy, purchase, etc.


Middle: Tell your child you’re going to mix all the bills and then sort them into 3 different


containers. The 1SAR bills in a jar, 5SAR bills in another and the same goes for the 10SARS.


Encourage your child to count the number of bills in total and begin sorting them into the


containers.


End: Give your child a 3 minutes warning. Ask your child to compare which jar has more bills


and encourage him/her to say how many more.


Duration: 10-15 min









Extension: Create a pretend play scenario where you own a shop and are selling the objects in the

house. Encourage your child to pick out an object he/she would like to “buy” and after telling


him/her the price (not more than 10 SAR). Then, help your child figure out what and how many


bills to give you in exchange for that object.
