Guest Really Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I am being observed next week and I need some ideas for independent activities which require the children to take turns. Something that Reception can do by themselves perhaps in pairs. Any suggestions please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 We just had a great activity with a paper shredder, the children had to take turns as only one piece of paper can be shredded at a time. It was a great activity because I also had just found a pasta roller ( like a mini mangle) in a charity shop. The children ( with adult support) started up quite a paper production line. They got paper ( scrap paper) from scrap draw, placed in baskets or shopping trolley, .... Transported paper to mangle..... folded paper to place through the mangle ( amazing how many children don't know how to fold paper)..... then take folded paper to shredder...... then place shredded paper in recycle bag....... ( which was later used for papier mache any other 'production line' type activity helps children to learn to wait ther turn. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
