Chalk and Play: A Creative Adventure

Help me give my students a fun-filled kindergarten project in which students will explore their creativity and develop essential stills using sidewalk chalk, a bubble machine, magnets, stickers, timers, playing cards and dominos!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hara's classroom raised $636

My Project

This project will be divided into several interactive stations:

The Project will blend play and learning, allowing children to develop a variety of skills while having a blast with engaging materials.

Chalk Art Station: Kids will use colorful sidewalk chalk to create drawings and patters on the pavement. They can collaborate to make a large mural or practice their letters and numbers.

Bubble Bonanza: The bubble machine will provide whimsical atmosphere as children chase and pop bubbles. This activity will enhance their gross motor skills while adding an element of fun.

Timed Challenges: Using timers, children can participate in quick challenges, such as drawing a specific shape or completing a puzzle with dominos. This will promote a sense of urgency and excitement while helping them learn to manage time.

Card and Domino Games: Children will learn simple card and domino games promoting social interaction, teamwork, and basic math skills as they count and strategize.
