The lesson plan aims to enhance toddlers' conversation skills through interactive activities designed to promote listening, turn-taking, and expressive language. Activities include reading a lively picture book and encouraging open-ended discussions, using conversation cards to spark dialogue about images, and engaging in imaginative play with toy phones to practice greetings and sharing. Additionally, toddlers will collaborate in building projects with colorful blocks, further fostering communication and teamwork. The session concludes with a group reflection on learned concepts and encourages caregivers to continue practicing these skills at home. Assessment focuses on observing children's participation and dialogue during activities.
