"The Goodnight Moon Game" is a favorite in the Levana classroom. Typically, each student chooses a game card and a teacher offers up cards to see which child has the match. This time, Sydney decided she wanted a turn to be the teacher. Sydney echoed the exact words she heard the teacher use, "Who has a picture of a cat?" "Oh, Abby does!" or "Here, Lindsey, you have this one!" Everyone was happy to play along!
Playing teacher is still a very popular game in our house. And I have 3rd graders who still love it. It's such a great way for kids to use their imagination but still gather some ideas from real life. Good perspective taking opportunities and even a chance to share what they have learned. Teaching others is the best way to remember something you have learned!
