How do you even begin to attempt teaching toddlers basic geometry? You should probably try to be as accurate as you can and make 3D shapes rather than teach them from pictures.
I suggest you muster up a ton of patience and a bag of marshmallows. Oh, and a pack of toothpicks would be handy as well! Now, if only you had a bonfire, graham crackers, and chocolate…s’more time!
5. Numbers Bingo

What a child should learn in Kindergarten can vary from state to state, but most states use the Common Core Standards.
According to the Common Core, these standards help create clear and consistent learning goals to help prepare children for life.
They are to keep parents and teachers on the same page to work together for common goals. 41 out of 50 states have adopted the Kindergarten standards.
In this case, we have access to what our Kindergarteners will learn throughout the year.

Practical lessons for parents in kindergarten. | Material on the topic:
Practical classes with parents in kindergarten.
1. Exercise "Chamomile of emotions".
Representatives of the subgroups take turns tearing off one petal from a camomile with a child's face on it. Each subgroup determines what emotional state the child is experiencing and suggests what could cause this state.
2. Exercise "But he is..." That". And if there are several children in the family, then we love them differently. Children feel this subtly, and often we hear from them a reproach: “You love Dima more than me!”. Try to explain that it is not more or less, but simply in a different way. To do this, I suggest that you write on the left half of the sheet all the disadvantages of your son (daughter), or several children, or one of them whom you consider the most “problematic”. On the right side of the sheet - all its pluses.
After the participants of the training have written down the pros and cons of their children, they announce them as follows:
“My Yura is very stubborn, but he is persistent in achieving the goal.
My Yura is lazy, but he is very kind”, etc.
Next, the participants are asked to tear the sheets in half lengthwise, keep the halves with pluses, and throw the halves with minuses into the wastebasket.
3. Exercise "Guess the proverb"
Participants are divided into groups of 3-4 people. Each group receives a leaflet with proverbs and the task is to draw a proverb without words. The rest guess.
Proverbs:
§ husband and wife - one satan
§ Seven nannies of a child without an eye of
§ Lovely scolding - only
§ will come up and respond to
§ The word will not be a sparrow, you will not catch - you will not catch
§ Written with a pen - you can't cut it with an ax
§ 7 troubles - one answer
Questions:
what difficulties did you experience when you tried to portray the proverb?
4. Breathing exercises:
- - "Respiration geometry". In the starting position, standing or sitting, take a full breath.
Then, holding your breath, imagine a circle and slowly exhale into it. Repeat this process four times. After that, inhale again, imagine a triangle and exhale into it three times. Then exhale twice into the square in the same way. After performing these procedures, calm will surely come.
- "Good morning". According to experts, a yawn allows you to almost instantly enrich the blood with oxygen and get rid of excess carbon dioxide. The muscles of the neck, face, and mouth that tighten during yawning accelerate blood flow in the vessels of the brain. A yawn, improving the blood supply to the lungs, pushing blood out of the liver, increases the tone of the body, creates an impulse of positive emotions. For the exercise, you need to close your eyes, open your mouth as wide as possible, tighten your mouth, as if saying a low "oooo". At this time, it is necessary to imagine as clearly as possible that a cavity is formed in the mouth, the bottom of which falls down. A yawn is performed with simultaneous stretching of the whole body.
The increase in the effectiveness of the pharynx is facilitated by a smile, which enhances the relaxation of the muscles of the face and forms a positive emotional impulse. After a yawn, the muscles of the face, pharynx, and larynx relax, and a feeling of peace appears.
- "Candle flame". It is performed in any convenient position - standing, sitting, lying down. Promotes the rapid removal of fatigue, cleanses the blood of toxins, increases the body's resistance.
After a full inhalation, exhalation is carried out in small portions through a narrow gap between the lips, outwardly resembling attempts to extinguish a candle flame. Each subsequent portion should be less than the previous one. At first, the number of repetitions should not exceed three, and later it can be increased to ten.
These exercises are useful for relaxing after hard work.
5. Relaxation exercises:
Exercise 1. "Bridge".
- Close your hands, as it is convenient for you, then imagine that your hands are a sliding St.
Petersburg bridge (Choose a comfortable image for yourself that helps to achieve movement), give them a mental command to diverge, as if automatically, without muscular effort. In order for the exercise to work, you need to find a state of inner balance in yourself, for this you need to relax and feel comfortable in yourself. Do as you please, go through the options (reject or bow your head, take a deep breath or exhale, hold your breath for a moment and
etc.), the main thing is to find this feeling of inner comfort, in which your will will begin to influence the automatic movement.
- Starting position of the arm to the side. You need to close your hands, imagining that your hands are attracted to each other, like two halves of a bridge or magnets.
- Repeat the divergence and convergence of the hands several times, achieving continuity of movement. At the moment when the hands, as it were, get stuck, you can slightly push them. If the desired state of inner relaxation has come, stay in it to remember it.
Exercise 2. "Wings".
Starting position - arms down. The eyes can be closed to better feel the movement that is born in the hands. Follow this movement and help it turn up. When the hands begin to float, there is a mass of new and pleasant sensations. Help yourself with pleasant figurative representations. Imagine that the arms are wings! Wings carry you! Allow yourself to breathe freely. Allow yourself to feel the state of flight.
Exercise 3. "Hedgehog".
This exercise is aimed at discharging negative emotional states and maintaining a cheerful mood. Relaxation is achieved through tension. It is necessary to strain, for example, the hands, and then relax them as much as possible. Imagine a hedgehog that twists and unwinds.
