Engaging in Expressive Play

View Lesson

This lesson plan is designed for toddlers aged 18 months to 3 years, focusing on enhancing communication skills through engaging activities. The session begins with a welcome and circle time, where children participate in a fun song. Next, a vibrant picture book is read aloud, encouraging interaction and repetition. The children then engage in puppet play, expressing their thoughts and feelings through dialogue.

Following this, interactive play stations are set up, allowing children to explore building blocks, animal figurines, and art supplies while communicating with each other. The lesson includes a group activity featuring action songs that promote movement and self-expression.

The session concludes with a closing circle, where children share their favorite parts of the lesson, reinforcing their verbal skills. Throughout the activities, the educator will observe and assess children's participation and language use, setting the foundation for future lessons that continue to develop their vocabulary and communication skills through creative play.
