CIRCLE TIME

I wear a mask

Wear a different mask to greet children each morning.

Every morning, during circle time, set a bin filled with a variety of masks in the center of your circle time area. Invite children to pick a mask and encourage them to wear it for the duration of your discussion period. Every time a child participates in the discussion, let him pick another mask out of your bin. This will make children want to speak and take part in the conversation.

Puppets wearing masks

Use puppets for their creative aspect. You can invent puppet conversations and encourage children to join in with puppets of their own. You will find several puppet models in the Educatall club.

Circle time-Masks

Before children arrive, glue pictures of masks on items throughout your daycare. Add colorful items to decorate your space and let children explore the decorations to discover the theme.

Hide a different mask within your daycare each morning. It doesn’t have to be completely hidden but finding it should represent a challenge for children. When they find the hidden mask, photograph it and print the picture. Display the pictures on a wall so that children can tell their parents about their daily find at the end of each day. fin. Name a child who will be your “chief” each morning. Grant this child privileges throughout the day.

• Different sizes of cardboard boxes for cardboard constructions.
• Invite children to create characters with building blocks.

Arts & Crafts:

• Cut eyes, noses, mouths, faces, and bodies out of catalogues and have children assemble them to create characters. When they are done, glue their characters onto Popsicle sticks or drinking straws.

Children can take turns explaining their selection to the group. Encourage them to describe their mask by naming its color, what it represents, its shape, etc.  

Mask-themed guessing game
(Open guessing game-Masks) Print and laminate. Have each child pick a word flashcard. Read a riddle (ex. : This mask is worn for Mardi Gras.). The child who has the corresponding flashcard must present it to the group. In this case, it would be the carnival mask.

When you name them, have them pick a mask without touching it. They must describe it by naming its color, the designs, etc. When a child thinks he knows which mask the child giving the glues picked, he can pick it up. If it is the correct mask, the child who guessed correctly will be the next one to pick a mask and give clues to the group.

Children must use their thumb and index finger to associate each tiny mask to the correct circle, per its color. This exercise develops fine motor skills. 

Where are the masks?

(Open game-Masks) Print and laminate for durable, eco-friendly use. Hide the pictures throughout your yard. Children search for them. Every time a child finds a mask, he runs to set it in a basket before setting off to search for another one.

Feather race

Use adhesive tape to draw a start and finish line, with approximately 10 cm between the two. Provide drinking straws, empty toilet paper rolls, and paper plates that children can use as propellors. They must use these propellors to move a feather from behind the start line to the other side of the finish line. The first child who succeeds wins.

Musical masks

(Open picture game-Masks) Print and laminate the pictures. Press them on your daycare floor. To the sound of music, children walk or dance around the daycare. When the music stops, they must quickly find a picture to stand on. Variation: If you wish, you can remove one picture at the end of each round. Children will have to cooperate to stand on the remaining pictures together. 

Silly disguises

Children sit in a circle. Set a box containing masks and other accessories in the center of the circle. To the sound of music, children pass one mask or accessory around the circle. When the music stops, the child holding the item must put it on. The game continues until the box is empty.

Mask identification game

Children sit in a circle, each wearing a mask. When you give the signal, children remove their mask. They pass the masks around the circle to the sound of music. When the music stops, each child must try to name the child who, at the start of the game, was wearing the mask that they are holding.

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 mask in front of him, he keeps it and places it in front of him for everyone to see. The first child who has collected all four masks wins.

Educa-dots-Masks

For example, if a child sees a red germ on the die, he would stamp a red spot using a red bingo marker. The first child who has stamped all the spots on his mask wins. If you don’t have bingo markers, children could simply set pompoms of the corresponding colors on the spots.

Memory game-Masks

(Open word flashcards-Masks) Print twice and set the cards face down on the table. Children take turns flipping 2 cards over. They must say who wears each type of mask. If they are identical, they keep them and play again. If not, their turn is over.
