Kindergarten Themes
Kids love learning with kindergarten themes. I think it is because at this age they still love to pretend and play. So they can imagine themselves in the theme and enjoy acting it out.Using activities for kindergarten that are all the same topic (like pirate, all about me, community helpers, animals), holiday (Christmas, Easter), or season (back to school, fall, winter) allows kids to dive in. These kindergarten activitiy ideas are so much fun, children will hardly know they are learning! We’ve arranged the kindergarten themes by month and also alphabetically so you can easily just what you need to add to your lesson plans with preschool, pre-k, k4, k5, and first grade students. We have both hands-on games, activities, science, and free printable worksheets for kindergarten in each of the thematic units for kindergarten too.
