I foster children's creativity so typically don't love staged crafts. HOWEVER, kids find them irresistibly fun especially if they involve hot chocolate!
I've learned that crafts when well-planned can create countless listening and spoken language opportunities in both virtual sessions and face-to-face sessions. The purpose of the craft and the target areas need to be clear especially when guiding families.
➼ What strategies will be modeled? - Sabotage?
Too bad. The lid is stuck on the glue, or the scissors are out of reach.
➼. What are the listening and language goals? - Following directions? Sequencing? Critical elements? Turn-taking and conversational skills.
❤ Is there a simple craft you recommend for expanding listening and spoken language learning?
