Real vs make believe preschool

Fairy Tales for Preschool. Do you read fairy tales to your kids? Fairy tales aren’t old fashioned, they’re very useful for teaching your kids story elements such as setting, characters, and beginning, middle, and end. Using fairy tale videos to supplement your theme or unit study can be a great way to help your students learn vocabulary and important story concepts.

Little ones have the BEST imaginations; yet, some things that we define as make-believe may seem like a real possibility in a child's creative little mind. Still, it is important to start having "real" versus "make-believe" conversations with our little ones.....PLEASE don't take this post out of context and start breaking their hearts about different heroes they may

I absolutely LOVE when it's time to teach about Fantasy and Fairytales! There are so many good books out there. Some of my favorites are the fractured fairytales! The kiddos LOVE it, but sometimes have a hard time differentiating between fantasy and reality scenarios. Because of this, I thought it would be so fun to make some games and activities to help them! Fantasy vs. Reality packet to help introduce the difference between reality and fantasy! I even loved seeing them read the cards…

Young students will practice sorting real items from the make-believe!

Monster Unit- To dispell the kids' fear of monsters we did a sorting activity of real vs. unreal or pretend. I printed out pictures of policmen, doctors, animals and cartoon characters and aliens. It was a good activity for introducing new terms like unreal, fake and pretend to my 3,4,5 year olds.

I recently saw this great idea on PINTEREST.....I knew I wanted to make my own. This is such a fun, cheap and easy center to make for word work. Here is a sample of my version.... This center is easy to change depending on your word list AND it is very cheap. I got a box of 24 gold spoons for 3 dollars at Party City! :) The site TEACHER BITS AND BOB : Click here to go there has 3 free pages of printables!!!! Thanks so much for sharing your amazing idea! :)
