(Open word flashcards-Submarines) (Open giant word flashcards-Submarines) ocean, diving, underwater, to navigate, spy, amphibious, hull, submariner, submarine, marine animals, diving suit, sea bed

 

Over and underEduca-chatterbox-Submarines

Create a mural by pressing a large piece of dark blue paper on a wall below a large piece of light blue paper. Draw waves all over the bottom of half of your mural to represent the ocean. Children can use one of the submarines they have made during the theme to practice following verbal instructions. For example, you could say, “Your submarine is under the water’s surface, it’s at the bottom of the ocean, it floats above the water…”

 

Classification activity-Submarines

Create classification games. Set all the items from the theme’s educa-decorate document in the center of the table. Ask children to pick one and associate it with a pre-determined category: size, color, theme, shape, etc.

 

Let’s chat

Print and laminate the theme’s word flashcards. Have each child pick a word. They can take turns presenting their word to the group (ex. a diving suit). Discuss each item and ask children questions to see what they know about the theme.

 Educa-decorate-Submarines-2

(Open educa-chatterbox-Submarines) Print and laminate the cards. To create your chatterbox, you will need an empty shoebox or a small bin that you can decorate as you see fit. Fill it with tiny objects, illustrations, pictures, and accessories related to your theme. To help you, we have created a series of cards that you may use. During circle time or, for example, when children are waiting for their lunch, have them take turns picking a card or object out of your chatterbox and naming the corresponding item.

 

Picture clue story-The ocean

(Open picture clue story-The ocean) Print. Sit in a circle with your group and begin reading the story. Pause when you reach a picture clue and point to it. Encourage children to guess the missing word.

 

Story and memory game-Ocean

(Open story and memory game-Ocean) Print, laminate, and cut out the cards. Place them face down on the floor. Children take turns picking three cards and using the illustrated items to invent a story. If you prefer, print twice and use the cards for a memory game.

 

Felt board-Ocean

(Open felt board game-The ocean) Print the elements and glue them on pieces of felt. Press 4 pieces of black felt on a piece of cardboard to create a felt board and hang it on a wall. The felt pieces will stick to your board. Children will have fun using the items to create scenes and stories.

 Modeling dough activity placemats-Submarines-1

In the ocean, there are…

Form a circle with your group and give each child a marine animal name (shark, whale, crab, lobster, starfish, etc.). Stand in the center of the circle and toss a scarf up in the air as you say, “In the ocean there are…” (name a marine animal). The child who represents this marine animal must catch the scarf and toss it in the air as he calls out another marine animal.

 

ROUTINES AND TRANSITIONS

 

Our submarine

You will need a large cardboard box that you will set upside down on the floor. With your group, paint the box using yellow paint and cut 3 or 4 round windows out of one long side of the box. Cut another circle out of the top. The circumference of this circle should correspond to the size of a dryer hose. Insert a dryer hose in the hole to represent a periscope. Set your submarine next to your circle time area or, if you prefer, close to your reading area. During circle or story time, allow 2 or 3 children to sit in your submarine. They will enjoy looking out the small windows.

 Modeling dough activity placemats-Submarines-2

Submarine décor that represents our group

Hang a blue shower curtain in your daycare. Cut a submarine shape out of heavy cardboard and paint it with your group. Give each child a blue paper plate they can glue on the submarine to represent windows. Photograph children individually and let them glue their picture in their window. Provide washable markers. When they arrive in the morning, they can draw marine animals, seashells, seaweed, bubbles, etc. directly on the shower curtain, around the submarine. At the end of the day, you can simply erase their drawings with a moist towel so as to provide a clean drawing surface all over again.

 

Game-This is my spot-Marine animals

(Open game-This is my spot-Marine animals) Print two copies of each illustration. Use adhesive paper to stick one copy of each illustration on the table. Place the second copy in a bag. Children take turns picking an illustration to determine where they must sit at the table. You may also use the illustrations to determine children’s naptime spots or their place in the task train.

 String activities-Submarines

Modeling dough activity placemats-Submarines

(Open modeling dough activity placemats-Submarines) Print and laminate. Let children pick a placemat and provide modeling dough. Encourage them to use the dough to fill or reproduce the shapes that are on their placemat.

 

String activities-Submarines

(Open string activities-Submarines) Print for each child. Children trace the lines with waxed string pieces (Wikki Stix). Variation: Trace the lines with glue and press string on the glue-covered lines. Wikki Stix are sold on the educatall online store:

 

Pinching colorful water

For this activity, you will need a large piece of bubble wrap. The larger the bubbles, the better! Glue your bubble paper in a window and set a towel on the floor, under it. With the children in your group, prepare small bowls filled with water. Add a few drops of a different color of food coloring to each bowl. Provide eyedroppers and show children how they can fill them with colorful water and then use them to punch a small hole in a bubble and empty the colorful liquid into it. Encourage them to mix different colors for additional exploration. Admire the colorful bubbles. Use this activity to test children’s color recognition skills.

 Miniature submarines

On the hunt for spy submarines

(Open miniature submarines) Print, laminate, and cut out. Set submarines on items throughout your daycare. This submarine hunt can also be presented outdoors. Children collect the submarines in a net.

 

Lacing-Ocean

(Open lacing-The ocean) Print, laminate, and cut out. Let children lace the ocean-themed items.

 

Fish sounds

Blow bubbles and invite children to make fish sounds as they race to pop them.

 

The shark

Pick a child who will become the shark. He chases his peers until he touches a child. The child who is touched becomes the shark. Variation: The child who is touched must stop in his tracks and remain perfectly still, with his arms out to his side. He can be saved if another child runs under one of his outstretched arms. Several children may have their arms out at the same time. Be sure to change “sharks” often.

 Coloring pages theme-Submarines

Port side and starboard side

Sit in a circle with your group. Show them how “port side” is to the left and “starboard side” is to the right. Next, ask children to touch the child on their port side and the child who is on their starboard side. Once they understand this notion, set cones to their right and to their left. Have one child stand in the center. When you give the signal, shout, “port side to starboard side (or vice versa). Children must quickly go from one side of the “ship” to the other, without getting captured by the child in the center. If the child in the center catches one of his peers, the child who was touched takes his place between the cones.

 

Whale or shark?

Children sit in a circle. One player (player 1) walks around the outside of the circle, touching each child’s head as he says, “whale, whale, whale, etc.”. At some point, he must say “shark”. The child who is touched when he says “shark” (player 2) must jump up and run after player 1. If player 1 makes it around the circle and sits down in player 2’s spot before the latter touches him, player 2 becomes the one who walks around the circle for the next round. If the opposite occurs, player 1 resumes walking around the circle.

 

Man overboard

Use duct tape to draw 2 parallel lines on the floor. Set small aluminum pie plates filled with water between the lines. Children must cross over from one side to the other, without spilling the water. If a child touches the water, the other children must shout “man overboard”!

 Game-Four-submarines

COGNITIVE ACTIVITIES

 

Colorful submarine assembly

(Open colorful submarine assembly) Print the submarine pieces and trace them on Fun Foam, making sure to use colors that match those of the illustrated submarines. Cut out the pieces and spread them out on a table, in front of your group. Print and laminate the colored submarines. Cut out the cards and give one to each child. Children must find the pieces required to reproduce the submarine that is illustrated on their card. Name the colors with your group.

 

Game-Four submarines

(Open game-Four submarines) Print, glue the cards on opaque cardboard, and cut them out. Arrange all the cards upside down on the floor or table (so you can’t see the illustrations). Children take turns rolling a die. Every time a child rolls a “1”, he can turn a card. If he doesn’t already have this submarine in front of him, he keeps the card and places it in front of him for everyone to see. The first child who has collected all four submarines wins.

 

Rock submarines

For this activity, you will have to collect, wash, and paint several rocks. For each submarine, you will need one large and long rock, 1 medium-sized rock and 3 small rocks. Paint each set of 5 rocks using a different color and let dry. Set all the rocks in a bin. Add a flexible drinking straw matching the color of the rocks to each set. (Open rocks-Submarines) Print the models and invite children to reproduce them with the rocks and straws. Name the colors with your group.Rocks-Submarines

 

Educ-math-Submarines

(Open educ-math-Submarines) Print and laminate for durable, eco-friendly use. Children must count the items in each rectangle and circle the corresponding number.

 

Homemade wooden puzzles

Print pictures of submarines and color them if necessary. Press several Popsicle sticks together and glue a picture on top of them. Cut around each stick and set them in a Ziploc bag. Repeat with the other pictures. Children will enjoy placing the sticks in the correct order to see a submarine appear.

 

Giant path-Social distancing game

Assemble several giant Fun Foam puzzle pieces to create a path, much like a life-sized board game. (Open giant die-Under the sea) Print and laminate the die faces. Glue each image on one side of a cardboard box that you have previously wrapped with ocean-themed wrapping paper. Invite each child to pick a toy that they can set on the first puzzle piece, the start of the game. Children take turns rolling the die and moving their toy forward or backwards per the number of items shown on the die. For example, if a child rolls “+2 images”, he must move his toy forward 2 squares. If he rolls “-1 image”, he must go back one space. The first child who reaches the end of the game wins.Educ-math-Submarines-1

EARLY SCIENCE AND MANIPULATION

 

My ocean

You will need a bottle with a cap (empty water bottle, soda bottle, etc.). Pour two cups of water into the container and add a few drops of blue food coloring. Shake the container. Add ½ cup of vegetable oil. The oil will rise to the surface. Add a fish, a plastic boat, and any other tiny objects you may have that represent marine life. Use hot glue to secure the cap and set aside to dry. Gently tip the bottle on its side to create waves. Children will love to see the objects move in the water.

 

The wave

Teach children how waves form with this simple experiment. You will need a large shallow container. Fill it halfway with water and give each child a drinking straw. Have them hold the straw close to the surface of the water and blow gently at first, and then much harder if they aren’t worried about getting wet!

 

Models-Submarines

Sea water

Pour water into several different containers. Provide different ingredients children can use to experiment (salt, sugar, pepper, spices, sand, dirt, flour, etc.). Encourage children to add a small quantity of one of the ingredients to each container to see if it will dissolve.

 

What floats?

This is the perfect activity for a hot summer day. Gather items that will float along with other items that will sink. Before dropping each item in the water, invite children to guess if it will sink or float.

 

Why do we float in the ocean?

Globule suggests an experiment that can be done with your group. For details, click here: 

 

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

 

Submarine vehicles

In your yard, transform your play cars to make them look like submarines. You can simply glue a dryer hose on the roof of each car. Diving masks will represent fun additions. Children will love wearing them as they drive their submarine around the yard. Draw a course in one corner of your yard. Your course may contain fish, seaweed, bubbles, waves, etc. Use you imagination.

 

Educ-math-Submarines-2

The octopus

Give each child 3 or 4 tentacles (pieces of fabric that they can insert around their waistline). Children will have fun trying to steal their peers’ tentacles. The object of the game is to be the first child to have 8 tentacles.

 

The crab

Organize a race where children must move about like crabs. Children can walk on their hands and feet, with their back to the floor. Challenge them to raise their hips.

 

Waves

Set several jumping ropes on the floor to represent ocean waves. Have children walk on the waves, making sure they don’t “fall” in the water.

 

Eels

Set exercise mats on the floor and invite children to crawl on them, like eels.

 Giant word flashcards-Submarines-3

Crab cage

Set 3 hula hoops one behind the other on the floor (or use rope to draw 3 circles). Children form a circle around the hula hoops and take turns hopping in the circles to the sound of fast-paced music. When the music stops, if a child is in a circle, he is trapped and must act like a crab momentarily.

 

RELAXATION ACTIVITIES

 

Play soft music containing ocean sounds. Encourage children to gently make wave-like motions with their arms. Reproduce the sound of the waves with your mouth. Gently sway side to side, as if you were being rocked by waves, etc.

 

ACTIVITIES INVOLVING PARENTS

 

Message in a bottle

Set a recycling bin filled with water next to your daycare entrance. Invite each child’s parents to write a message for their child and insert it in a plastic 2-litre soft drink bottle. When they are done, they can set their bottle in the bin. At the end of the theme, gather your group around the bin and let children take turns picking a bottle out of the bin. Read the messages out loud.

 

ARTS & CRAFTS

 Glasses-Submarines

Glasses-Submarines

(Open glasses-Submarines) Print the model for each child. Invite them to cut out and color their glasses. Provide adhesive glitter they can press on the sides of their glasses. They will love wearing their special glasses when you are out and about in your neighborhood.

 

My submarine hat

Give each child a plastic egg. Invite them to cut a flexible drinking straw and imprison the straight part in the egg to represent a periscope. Next, help them glue a piece of colorful adhesive tape around their egg, set horizontally in front of them. Using a permanent marker, they can draw 3 round windows on either side of their submarine as well as a control center at the front. To complete their submarine, they can cut a pipe cleaner into 3 pieces and twist them together to represent a propeller that can be inserted in the hole at the bottom of the egg.

 Pieces to be glued-Submarines

Rocking submarine

Give each child a paper plate and help them fold it in half to represent the base of a submarine. The fold shall be at the top whereas the contour of the plate will rest on the table, so it can rock “in the waves”. Next, children can paint both sides of the plate that are on the outside using the color of their choice. Once this is done, give them 3 colorful adhesive circles (to repair torn loose-leaf paper) that they can press on their submarine to represent windows. The next step will require they cut a cabin and propeller out of construction paper. They can glue the cabin on the fold and the propeller on the back of their submarine. Children can tear a blue crepe paper garland into pieces that they can glue along the contour of their plate to represent water.

 

Inflated submarine

(Open pieces to be glued-Submarines) Print and cut out the shapes. Children can trace them on colorful Fun Foam and cut them out. Help them inflate a cylindrical balloon that will become the base of their submarine. Using double-sided tape, children can press the pieces on their submarine. They will have fun playing with it or, if you prefer, you can hang the submarines from the ceiling to decorate your daycare throughout the theme.

 Puppets-Submarines

Puppets-Submarines

(Open puppets-Submarines) Print the various models on cardboard. Ask children to cut them out and decorate them with arts & crafts materials. Glue a Popsicle stick behind each one to complete the puppets.

 

Models-Submarines

(Open models-Submarines) Print the various models and use them for crafts and activities throughout the theme.

 

Mandalas-Submarines

(Open mandalas-Submarines) Print for each child. Invite children to color their mandalas to provide them with a relaxing activity whenever needed.

 

An aquarium

Have children build an aquarium using boxes of different sizes. If you wish, you may cut large rectangles out of the sides of a box (to represent the sides of the aquarium). Simply glue blue cellophane paper on them. Hang fish inside the box to personalize your aquarium.

 

Marine scenesMandalas-Submarines

Use torn pieces of construction paper to create marine scenes. Do not provide scissors; children must cut the paper using their fingers.

 

Giant lobster

(Open craft-lobster) Print for each child and encourage them to color the pieces. Glue them on construction paper to solidify them and cut them out. Use fasteners to assemble the lobster parts so the claws can be moved.

 

Bottom of the ocean

Give each child a piece of heavy paper. Invite them to draw fish, seashells, seaweed, etc. on it using waxed crayons. When they are done, have them paint over their drawing with blue paint (color of water). Their drawing will not disappear since the paint will not adhere to the waxed crayon markings.

 Colorful submarine assembly-1

Ocean mobile

(Open craft-marine life mobile) Print. Use the shapes as models and trace them on heavy cardboard. Decorate them and cut them out. Use a hole-punch to make a tiny hole at the top of each shape and thread fishing wire or yarn through them (use different lengths). Hang the shapes from wooden skewers to complete your mobile.

 

Seashell collage

Have children draw a simple picture using a wooden pencil. Ask them to apply white glue and press seashells all over their drawing.
