Introducing Games

We have jumped right in with introducing the children to playing games.  In Bunny class, our games have no winner and no loser.  We just play to a natural end.  The game pictured above is called Honey Bee Tree.  The tree is filled with leaves on long stems and tiny bees.  As the children take turns to carefully pull out the leaves, the bees begin to fall out of the tree.  When all the bees are out, the game is over and we start again.  The purpose of games at this age and stage of development is simply to understand turn taking in order, one at a time.  Once that skill is mastered (and it will take a while!), we can move on to some rules of play.

Play games at home!  It's fun and good for the brain.
