Kindergarten Activities are one of my favorite activities to bring forth. 

Activities for kindergarten have a special place in my heart because when my oldest was about to be in kindergarten, I decided to homeschool her for that year. 

I loved teaching her and learning through play with books and different methods of teaching in a fun way. 

Kindergarten is such a wonderful and playful year of learning in a very fun way! 

We didn’t really use worksheets very much and instead focused on reading a lot of books and practicing CVC words a lot!

Differentiated instruction lesson plans for kindergarten were so much fun because we used a lot of wholesome curriculum and resources. 

You can read more about our Kindergarten experience here. 

Alongside resources, play to learn and hands on activities are also very important. 

I really enjoyed introducing my Kindergartener at the time activities that she can learn while playing such as:

• DIY Fish Pipe Cleaner Counting Activity 

• Spring Math Activities

• Spooky Alphabet Match 

• DIY Learning Box for Kids

• Apple Tree Math Matching Activity
