New Names For Child Initiated Activity

[Guest]

Hello All

First posting to I hope someone is out there listening!

We are trying to revamp our CIA and give it a bit more pep and direction and we want to change its name. We currently call it 'Choosing time' but would like a name that reflected the independent learning aspect of the activity. Any suggestions?

Thanks

hi Wilf

Yes -out here and listening!

Really like the idea of a new namee but no inspiration yet I'm afraid. We use 'busy time', and say to the children 'Let's get busy' but that doesn't meet your needs I'm afraid - will keep thinking!

I've been thinking the same, hate using 'choosing' at the mo. What about Sparkle time? Dazzle time? Where the children sparkle/ dazzle you with their independent learning.

We call ours busy board time, we have a board in the classroom where we put photos or pictures of the areas or activities available that week as a reminder to them. We plan this together on a Thursday the week before with the children. Things get added and taken away from the 'busy board' as children think of them/ lose interest.
