13 Social Skills Activities for Preschoolers + Milestones

The foundation for a person’s social behaviour is laid during the early years, which makes preschool a crucial time to ensure your children are learning social skills.

In this article I’ll explain briefly:

• why social skills are important
• examples of social skills for preschoolers
• the stages of social development
• social milestones by age
• 13 social skills activities for kids

Developing social skills in preschoolers is vital in order for them to be able to interact with others successfully and form healthy relationships throughout life.

As children grow, they learn about social roles, values and behaviours from the world around them.

Parents, siblings, extended family, peers and teachers all have a role to play in moulding children’s social skills.

Healthy socializing involves three general things – generosity, helpfulness and taking turns.

Generosity

Generosity is about sharing with family as well as friends. Children must also learn to respect others’ rights and possessions.

Helpfulness

Learning to be friendly, considerate and helpful must be balanced with not being overly submissive and stifling the development of their own personalities.

Taking Turns

This is one of the most important skills to learn. It is the basis of courtesy and thoughtfulness and is relevant at almost every level of life.

Children must allow others to have their turn but also have the self-confidence to insist on getting their own turn, without trying to dominate activities and conversations. The example parents set is important.

The social and emotional development of a child is an important aspect of their growth, just as much as intellectual or physical development, which we tend to pay more attention to.

Children need to build a set of prosocial skills in order to navigate communicating with others and building relationships. Here are some examples of social skills:

• Cooperating
• Being helpful
• Compromising
• Giving
• Sharing
• Taking turns
• Negotiating
• Showing sympathy
• Having empathy
• Imitating
• Protecting
• Assuming responsibility
• Respecting others’ views
• Showing attachment

Antisocial behaviours prevent children from communicating effectively. These are a few examples:

• Selfishness
• Telling lies
• Aggression
• Egocentrism
• Taking others’ possessions
• Bossiness
• Destructiveness
• Prejudice

In order to help children build social skills, it is necessary to first understand the social stages and milestones they will progress through so you can support them at their stage of maturity.

For example, there is no need to worry that your 2-year-old won’t share his toys as this is normal at his age. He is not yet mature enough to understand the concept of sharing.

Social development can be divided into three main stages: the Infancy, Childhood and Youthful periods.

Infancy Period

This stage begins at birth and ends at the first signs of speech. During this stage, infants learn to tell the difference between their own bodies and the environment around them.

Social development is strongly influenced by the mother-child relationship because the way a mother cares for her child will either convey tenderness or anxiety.

Childhood Period

The childhood period begins when a child uses clear speech and lasts up until the need for playmates of the same age emerges.

By following the example set by the parents, a child begins to classify his own behaviour as good or bad. He also realizes the difference between enemies and friends.

During this stage, children acquire language as well as cultural customs, such as hygiene, toilet or eating practices.

Youthful Period

This period begins when children prefer to play with others of the same age. More complex skills of interpersonal behaviour are learnt, such as cooperation, competition and compromise.

Here is a table of common milestones that occur at various ages as a child matures.

12 Months

• Shows affection for people she knows
• Likes to be around loved ones – to always hear or see them
• Passes an object or toy to an adult when asked, and sometimes even spontaneously
• Waves goodbye
• Begins to play games such as hide-and-seek

18 Months

• Plays alone happily but likes to be near a familiar adult or older sibling
• Likes other children but does not play with them
• Shows affection for family members, pets and dolls
• Begins to imitate people
• Repeats actions and expressions that receive a positive reaction

2 Years

• Likes people but is still egocentric
• Follows caregivers around the house and demands constant attention
• Imitates domestic activities
• May take turns but has difficulty sharing toys or adult attention
• Throws tantrums in order to be understood
• Happily plays near other children, but not yet with them (parallel play)
• Sometimes hits or bites children to get a reaction
• Can role play e. g. put a doll to sleep or wash the dishes

3 Years

• Begins to behave unselfishly
• Shows affection for younger siblings
• Likes helping with domestic activities such as shopping or cleaning
• Begins to share with others
• Enjoys playing alone and with other children
• Begins to show a preference for certain friends
• Begins to show sympathy when someone is upset
• Engages in make-believe play with dolls and toys and enjoys pretending to be someone else
• Still sees most things from their own perspective
• Talks about self, family and possessions
• Shows empathy with characters in stories
• Can wait for you to finish before talking
• Sometimes has an imaginary friend

4 Years

• Really enjoys the company of friends and can play in a group

5 Years

• Behaves in a more controlled and sensible way
• Cooperates with companions and understands the need for rules and fair play
• Has a definite sense of humour
• Shows tenderness towards and is protective of younger children and pets
• Enjoys competitive games
• Enjoys fantasy games
• Chooses own friends (usually of the same sex)
• Begins to learn the value of compromise and negotiation

As you can see, sharing is a struggle for very young children. The advice is usually to divert and redirect attention when dealing with toddlers [source].

The most important activity your children can engage in, in order to develop their social skills, is play.

When preschool children play together they learn together.

Here are some reasons play is important for your child’s social development.

1. It teaches cooperation and how to take turns
2. Children are able to try different roles and personalities
3. Play teaches children to verbalize their needs
4. Kids learn to lead and follow
5. It provides a broad base for the use of social language skills
6. Children learn to respect others’ rights and possessions
7. They develop an awareness of themselves as a member of a group
8. Through play, they understand their own culture and values
9. They gain knowledge about society’s rules and about group responsibility
10. Play develops a positive self-image and self-concept
11. It teaches how to participate in a group
12. It promotes gender-role identification
13. Children develop common goals and interests as they play together
14. They learn to see others’ perspectives
15. Children experience delight when playing

If you are wondering what activities would be most effective to help a child develop positive social skills, the answer is that you don’t really need a list of specific activities to “teach” them about socializing.

Rather, it is about giving them enough opportunities to play and interact and encouraging certain types of games and activities that involve interaction and cooperation.

You can discuss or play social skills games around topics like feelings and how to cope with conflict, but it will only be through experiencing these feelings and conflicts that your children will really learn these lessons and understand these concepts in a meaningful way.

Here are some simple social development activities for 3-5-year-olds.

1.

Playdates

Invite friends over for a playdate and take your children to play with friends as often as you can. Playing with siblings is also good interaction.

The more opportunities your child has to mix with others, the more they will practise socializing.

Don’t leave your young child alone with a friend if he is not yet comfortable. Give him time to build trust.

2.

Group Games

Play group games that involve taking turns and following rules.

Children will learn with time that social interaction is fun and that in order for the game to work, they need to consider each other and all be active participants.

Also, encourage musical games such as musical chairs where there are rules to follow and children have to compete while still considering each other and being comfortable with losing sometimes (e.g. if your friend gets to a chair before you).

This takes maturity to understand.

3.

Board Games

Board games are an excellent activity for older preschool children. These should have multiple players (even if you start with 2), rules and an objective (e.g. in Snakes and Ladders the objective is to reach the end first).

It can be a complex task for a child to learn to follow rules and keep the game positive while competing with friends or family members.

Younger children can start with simple card games or very basic board games.

4.

Fantasy Play

Fantasy, or dress-up play, is an important part of learning to socialize. During this kind of play, children make sense of their world and the people around them by role-playing.

This is how they “practise” being an adult, behaving and interacting as an adult would. They also act out their own social customs and norms.

Fantasy play is a great social learning activity for children playing with one or more friends, as well as for smaller children playing alone.

Even though the child is alone, the activity revolves around pretending to interact with others, which is a great way to safely act out an interaction.

Provide opportunities at home by having a dress-up section in your child’s room. Provide different themed clothes and props and change them frequently to encourage new ideas.

5.

Blocks

When children play with blocks together, they initially play alongside each other, building their own structures.

With time and maturity, they begin to share blocks, take an interest in each other’s structures and finally end up building something together.

This is one of those activities where you will see this progression clearly.

By the time children are building together, they are learning to share, listen to each other’s ideas, problem-solve, organize, share opinions, negotiate, compromise and work towards a common goal.

6.

Sensory Play

Sensory play is a fun activity that children love to do together. Whether they are playing with water, mud or sand, there is much sharing, negotiating and cooperation. It also often leads to fantasy play.

7.

Creative Play

When children are involved in creative activities such as drawing, painting, cutting, pasting or moulding playdough, they are often deep in conversation at the same time.

These activities usually happen around a table where the children are sitting calmly and are fully engaged with their playmates.

Some of the most intriguing and complex socializing I have witnessed has been around an art table.

8.

Reading

Reading to a child is my absolute favourite activity and one with so many benefits. Stories are all about people and animals and their relationships and interactions.

Read to your child daily and she will constantly be listening to how characters socialize, deal with problems, show emotions and generally interact.

You may find it hard to explain to a young child what empathy is, for example, but you can certainly teach the message with a story and let your child experience this trait on her own through listening.

9.

Discussions

Along with reading, discussions are another way to teach your children social skills.

Use every opportunity possible to discuss how your children feel, to talk about their friendships and even discuss the characters in the stories and how they handled certain situations.

When your children experience conflict with a friend, discussing possible solutions or how they can handle it is a far more educational experience than immediately intervening.

10. Manners

In my experience teaching in the classroom, the children who had lovely manners were taught at home as toddlers. Those who hadn’t been taught seldom spontaneously said please or thank you without being constantly prompted and reminded.

It is too late to teach a 3 or 4-year-old manners and courtesy. Start as early as possible.

11.

Free Play

The best socializing and learning occurs naturally – when children are playing freely with each other.

You may choose to present and encourage certain activities, such as an art project, but know that any time spent playing with others is time they are learning valuable social skills.

Try not to let screen time or too many planned activities get in the way of real play and socializing.

…and don’t forget these two important points:

12.

Build a Healthy Relationship With Your Child

A child’s primary relationship – with his parents – is the basis for all future socializing.

The relationship should be warm and close. Your child should feel love, security, acceptance, trust and self-esteem.

13.

Model Positive Behaviour

Children learn about socially acceptable behaviour by watching their parents. They learn more from watching you than from listening to you. 

I hope you enjoyed these ideas and activities for developing social skills in preschoolers.

17+ Easy Social Activities For Toddlers And Preschoolers

Social skills for preschoolers and toddlers are critical to their happiness and well-being. As essential tools children use to interact, communicate, and build relationships, social and emotional skills also play an important role in a child’s development. We have compiled 17+ social-emotional development activities for toddlers and preschoolers.

Play And Social Development

There is an incredible link between play and social development. As it turns out, all types of play are valuable to the social and emotional development in early childhood, including block play. Through block play, children build skills not only in social-emotional, but also the physical, language, and cognitive development domains. Read our detailed post on the benefits of block play.

Kids love to play! Therefore, what better way to build their skills than to provide fun and interactive social skills activities for preschoolers and toddlers. Explore this post on “What Are Social Skills? & Why Are Social Skills Important?” for a deep dive into social and emotional development in early childhood.

Like little sponges, children learn best with hands-on activities. Additionally, through engagement and modeling, you demonstrate socially acceptable behavior. Kids need free time to play and develop their imagination and creativity. Be flexible. Start with a plan, but let your children lead the way. Let them be imaginative!

At first, keep things simple. As their skills develop, you can add more complex activities. Such as, adding a twist to a classic game like Simon Says. Turn routine play into enhanced experiences and keep it fun and interactive!

Let’s look at some simple social-emotional activities for toddlers and preschoolers you can incorporate into your child’s daily play.

Ideas For Social Skills Activities For Preschoolers And Toddlers

Use Visuals

• Posters
• Charts

Read Books

Read one of these on good manners:

• Thank You and Good Night by Jon Gordon
• Richard Scarry’s Please and Thank You Book by Richard Scarry
• Do Unto Otters: A Book About Manners by Laurie Keller
• My Mouth Is a Volcano! by Julia Cook
• Penguin Says “Please” by Michael Dahl

Sing Songs

Songs work wonders for kids. They love to sing and remember things so much better when put to music. It also works as a fun and gentle reminder; when your child begins to use bad manners, you can start singing the song.

Sample one of these Good Manners Songs from The Child Care Lounge.

• Manners (Tune: I’m a Little Teapot) 
• When You’re Talking to a Friend (Tune: If You’re Happy and You Know It)
• Good Manners (Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star) 

Or this one from Let’s Play Music.

Finally, try a classic like, “Your Happy And You Know It”

Play Games

Playing games together, whether board, card, or outdoor games, encourages following directions and taking turns. Children have to learn how to play fairly by the rules. Additionally, it provides opportunities to handle winning and losing like a “good sport. ” Practice taking turns with your child by saying “my turn” and “your turn.” Most important, focus on having fun while playing together.

Role Play

Create a list of things to say and then “role play”. For example,

• How to introduce themselves, i.e., “Hello, my name is…”
• How to join in playing with others, i.e., “May I play too?”
• How to nicely negotiate with others, i.e., No, thank you, I do not want the blue car. May I have the red truck, please?”

Social and Emotional Learning Skills

We will look at communication skills and some social-emotional development activities for toddlers and preschoolers to build effective communication.

Communication

Effective communication is one of life’s most essential skills. Children need to be able to understand and express their emotions while also recognizing the feelings of others’. The need for positive interactions and connections with others is vital to our well-being. Below are just a few of the skills used in positive communication:

• Active Listening
• Following Directions
• Making Eye Contact
• Using Good Manners
• Having A Sense of Humor
• Not Speaking Too Loudly
• Speaking Clearly
• Telling The Truth
• Using Kind Words

Active Listening

Good listening skills require children to be active listeners. They must hear and understand what someone else is saying. As the foundation for effective communication, being an active listener is a skill that is essential for healthy relationships throughout life.  Epictetus, a Greek philosopher, said, “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” What wise words!

Practice is the name of the game! Try reading a book, stopping regularly to ask your child to recap the story. For instance, ask them, “What has been happening in the story?” Encourage them to continue listening as you read.

“Listening is where love begins. ” – Mr. Rogers

Following Directions

Following directions and listening are two skills that work closely together. Often, kids have a hard time following directions if they are not using their listening skills.

Younger children can get distracted or forget what you asked them to do. Use this time as an opportunity to practice their skills. For example, practice regularly with simple requests like “Please pass the butter to me” then give praise immediately for following directions.

Also, with young children, you want to give just one direction at a time. Instead of saying, “put on your shirt, wash your hands, and come to the table for dinner,” pause until they have put on their shirt before you give the next request.

Furthermore, how you frame the direction makes a difference. You want to avoid phrasing it like a question. This suggests your child has an option and can say “no.” Instead, ask them to repeat back what you said once you have given your direction, additionally reinforcing their listening skills.

It is important to praise your child when you see they are following directions. Say things like, “Thank you for putting your blocks away the first time.”

Making Eye Contact

Some kids may be shy and struggle to look at a person when speaking with them. However, making eye contact is imperative to effective communication, and children need to practice. Highlight the importance of making eye contact and model the behavior.

If your child finds it difficult not to look up, gently remind them by asking them, “Where do your eyes go when someone is talking to you? Always look for times to praise them when they remember to look at people when they are talking. You want to be kind and positive; shy children can often feel anxious.

Practice making eye contact with you first in a safe and loving environment. Have your child describe a story while you play with a toy, close your eyes, or look around but NOT at them. Then, have them share another story; this time, make eye contact while they are speaking. Afterward, talk about how it made them feel in each instance.

Using Good Manners

Good manners are more than just minding your “Please,” and Thank you.” It is about being polite and courteous, like not interrupting or talking with your mouth full. Using good manners, whether while eating and speaking, at home, or in public, is also about respect.  Greeting people like family, friends, or visitors with a “Hi” or “Hello” makes them feel welcome and appreciated. Let’s not forget the importance of “I’m sorry” and Excuse me.”

We realize that teaching good manners can feel like an endless battle. However, when your child is polite and courteous, it makes others want to be around them. Furthermore, they are more likely to be invited places if they are respectful, gracious, and well-behaved.

Once before a trip to France, we were reminded that Americans are often considered rude by other countries. We can be loud in public, but the thing that struck me the most was that we forget to say “Hello” before asking for help or directions. What a concept, a simple greeting of “Hi. How are you?” before asking, “Where can I find the bread” goes a long way.

So, we tested it out while we there and what a positive response and experience we had. We also started practicing it at home and WOW! what a difference it makes. Such a small effort with a huge impact.

Now that was easy for us adults, but how do we teach our children good manners? Model them! Always saying “Please” and “Thank you” to your children, as well as others. Give gentle reminders and praise them when they remember to be polite.

Better yet, practice with these fun social-emotional activities for preschoolers and toddlers below.

Emotional and Social Development Activities For Toddlers

Social skills activities for toddlers are usually quite simple. Typically, before the age of three, toddlers rarely play cooperatively, but instead, they play alongside one another, enjoying each other’s company. They are just beginning to engage in pretend play and like to imitate friends and adults. You see an increase in their independence, but they may still have some separation anxiety. For successful interaction, keep these general guidelines in mind when planning your social-emotional learning activities for toddlers.

Hands Are Not For Hitting

Not hitting, is a vital skill to learn, especially for toddlers. You can create a song about what hands are for, including hand motions. Add things like Hands are for waving, clapping, drawing, hugging, and more. Look for more ideas in the “Hands Are Not For Hitting” book by Martine Agassi Ph.D.

Red Light, Green Light For Toddlers

This childhood classic requires listening and following direction skills. For toddlers, you may want to use signs to help them understand the directions initially. For example, you could make a round yellow “light” with a picture of hands clapping as a visual cue. As they become more proficient, you can remove the signs one by one and let them play by listening only.

To play, one toddler is the “stoplight,” and the others are bikes or cars. Let the kids decide. Next, the “stoplight” says “green light,” and all the bikes come running towards the light. When the light calls out “red light,” they all have to stop. If they fail to stop, they return to the beginning and start over. The first one to the “light” wins and gets to be the next “stoplight.”

Follow My Clap

This game can expand as your child grows. For a toddler, start with a simple clapping pattern, have them listen, and then copy the rhythm. As the child gets older and more proficient, you can add other hand motions like slapping their knees for more complex patterns.

Follow The Leader

Another classic perfect for all ages and learning to follow directions. Choose one person to be the leader. With younger children due to language barriers, it might work best to be the leader in the beginning or just use physical cues. Have the leader “call out” or “act out” movements the kids must follow exactly.

Simon Says

Not only, one of the best games for teaching listening and following directions skills, but also fun for all ages. You know how it goes, right? Someone gets to be “Simon” and gives directions to the other players. Let your child use their imagination and creativity; they could also be “Spiderman” or “Batman.” How about “Anna” or “Elsa”? Maybe they want to dress up and get into character.

Next, they have to listen to see if they are supposed to follow the instruction. For example, when “Simon says…” before the direction, the child follows the direction. However, if they give an instruction without saying, “Simon says…” first, then the child does not follow the direction. If you do, then you are out!

Remember to keep the directions age-appropriate. Start slowly and be sure they understand the instructions. For younger children, you may want to give visual cues. For instance, if you say “turn around,” then physically turn around.

Loud Or Soft?

Here is another easy game to fine-tune your child’s listening skills. It requires them to focus and to understand loud versus quiet sounds. Which is helpful for down the road when you are asking them to use “soft voices.” Start by making loud or soft sounds with various items, like loudly banging two blocks together. Then ask the child if the noise was loud or soft?

In another version, you can have all the kids make noise, such as stomping their feet. First, have them do it loudly, and then the leader says, “soft,” and they stomp quietly.

Social-Emotional Activities For Preschoolers

As your preschoolers’ skills increase, their social and emotional learning skills will become more complex. At this stage, they enjoy playing with other children, rather than alone. They are more creative and like to pretend, so now is a great time to add dress-up clothes and props for more imaginative play. Also, they want to try new things, so be creative and use your imagination when planning your social-emotional learning activities for preschoolers.

What Sound?

This one can be a lot of fun to watch children express different sounds. First, have children sit back to back. One at a time, have them make a sound (like an animal sound) and see if the other person can guess the sound. Then switch.

Follow The Rhythm

Create a pattern of sounds using musical instruments like drums or even pots and pans with wooden spoons. For instance, you bang on the drum three times. Then have your child repeat what you did. As the child increases their proficiency, you can make rhythm patterns more complicated.

Listening Activity With Blocks

Here is an easy and fun activity for one or more preschoolers, to reinforce active listening. Start with a large container of magnetic tiles in a variety of colors. Ask the first child to add “a blue block to the tower.” Next, ask the second child to “add two green blocks to the tower.” Continue until you run out of blocks. You can increase the difficulty if the children seem to be listening well by adding more complex instructions. For example, “add one red block, one blue block, and two green blocks.”

Obstacle Courses

Kids love them! Not only do kids reinforce their listening and following direction skills, but they build gross motor skills too! It is important to start small. Depending on your child’s age and ability, begin with 3-5 obstacles or tasks.

Here are some ways to focus on listening and following direction skills.

• Give them the exact directions on how to move through the obstacle course. For instance, if you use giant building blocks, tell them whether to go over, around, or knock them down.
• Try incorporating a station where they have to stop and listen for the directions like “Simon says…” Once the task is completed, they can continue.
• What about including a magnetic blocks station where they must build a pyramid.

Games To Enhance Social And Emotional Skills

Playing games offers many benefits. They encourage early learning, paying attention, and increase language development. They provide opportunities to connect, to step away from our screens, and teach the value of teamwork. Most importantly, they focus on having fun.

Red Light, Green Light For Preschoolers

A classic childhood game for preschoolers, with a twist. Once your child understands red means stop and green means go, you can increase the complexity by adding additional “light” colors. For example, “yellow light” for clapping, “blue light” for turning around, and “orange light” for jumping in place.

Or reverse the colors with “red light,” meaning go and “green light,” meaning stop. These simple variations force them to listen more carefully.

Mother May I? 

Another childhood classic that requires following directions. One kid is the “mother” and stands far away, facing the line of children. “Mother” then chooses one child at a time and gives them a direction. Typically, these directions follow a standard, such as “Luke may take three giant steps forward” or “Hannah, you may take four baby steps forward. ” The child then asks, “Mother may I?” and “mother” replies yes or no. If the child forgets to answer, “Mother, may I?” then they have to go back to the beginning. The first child to get to “mother” wins.

Simon Says (try a twist of “Listen To What I Say And Not What I Do”)

You know how it goes, right? Someone gets to be “Simon” and gives directions to the other players. For preschoolers, you can add complexity by providing more than one-step instructions. For example, try “jump two times, clap your hands, and turn around.”

Remember if they give an instruction without saying, “Simon says…” first, then the child does not follow the direction. If they do, then they are out!

Here is a fun twist on the game for older preschoolers. This version “Listen To What I Say And Not What I Do” requires kids to focus their listening and NOT uses visual cues. For instance, “Simon says…,: “run in place,” but he is jumping in place. Then the correct action is to “run in place.”

Here are a few fun commands to get the game started. “Simon says…”

1. Play air guitar
2. Waddle like a penguin
3. Act like a monkey
4. Bark like a dog
5. Meow like a cat
6. Start singing
7. Start dancing
8. Cry like a baby
9. Pretend to climb a ladder
10. Walk backward

Build It! (a variation on the “Teacher Says” game)

In this version, you play with blocks.

1. Gather a bunch of wooden building blocks as props and place them in the middle of the room.
2. Choose one child to be the “builder” and explain the game.
3. Next, you are the “contractor” to model how the game is played. Continue in this mode until the kids fully understand how to play the game. Then one of the kids can be the “contractor.”
4. Finally, give the “builder” a set of 2-4 directions, such as “line up two wooden square blocks, add one rectangle block on top, and one triangle block to the top.” As you play, show useful listening methods, like making eye contact with the speaker, repeating the directions, waiting for all the instructions before starting, and creating a picture in your mind.

“Please” And “Thank You” Game

This game is a fun way to practice table manners before a special dinner like Christmas or Thanksgiving. Create make-believe food dishes to pass. Have your kids draw pictures of various dishes, such as mashed potatoes, broccoli, or pie on the plates. Also, you could simply cut them out of magazines or print them from the internet. Then glue the pictures to paper plates for passing.

Here is how to play:

1. Start with the first “dish.”
2. Have the child name the food. Ask if they like it?
3. If they do not like it, have them say, “No, thank you.” If they do, “Yes, please!”
4. Afterward, they pass the plate to the next child, asking, “Would you like some________?
5. The child can then respond with a “No, thank you” or a “Yes, please.”
6. Continue until you have passed all the “dishes.”

Music and Dance Activities

Dance and music are not just fun for toddlers and preschoolers, but they are beneficial too! Music cultivates communication and allows kids to express themselves. Furthermore, it contributes to imagination and creativity.

Let’s Have A Dance Party!

This one starts with some music. Next, either an adult or a child may be the “dance leader.” The “leader” starts dancing, and everyone must follow the moves exactly. Make it fun and silly! After about 30 seconds, but no more than a minute, the “leader” calls out another child’s name, and they become the next “dance leader.” Continue changing places until everyone has had a chance to be the “dance leader.” Beware if you are caught not making the moves exactly, you will have to take a seat.

Freeze Dance

Kids love nothing more than music and dancing! This one is simple and fun. Play some music, and the kids start dancing, once the music stops, they “freeze.” You can also add some variations like having them dance to the beat of the music, for instance, dancing slow motion to slow music and dancing fast to fast beat music. Or reverse it, dancing slowly to fast music and fast to slow music.

 

Easy social activities for toddlers and preschoolers are a fun way to help children learn how to listen, follow directions, and use good manners. For more development activities, check out our “Simple Block Activities For Toddlers And Preschoolers” post. 

Check back soon for an upcoming post on more social-emotional activities for preschoolers and toddlers, focused on exploring their feelings, cooperation, and how to make and keep friends. Until then, we hope you enjoy your time together playing and practicing.

Social and pedagogical activity on the formation of social skills in preschool children with mental retardation

Currently, the problem of upbringing and education of preschool children with mental retardation is given considerable attention, both in the field of science and practice. This is due to the trend towards an increase in the number of children with developmental problems. ³

Children with mental retardation are a large category, heterogeneous in composition. Some of them have mild disorders of the central nervous system, due to its early organic damage. In other children, mental retardation develops against the background of functional immaturity of the central nervous system. Somatic weakness, the presence of a chronic disease can also cause a lag in neuropsychic development. Unfavorable microsocial conditions, psychotraumatic situations are another cause of mental retardation in children. ⁵

Timely organization of corrective action is the main factor that determines the social adaptation and rehabilitation of a problem child. To date, scientific research has convincingly shown and confirmed by practice that the greatest pedagogical opportunities for overcoming shortcomings in the development of a child are available in the period of early and preschool childhood, since during this period the psyche is most plastic.

At the present stage of development of the system of special education, the need for the purposeful development of effective social skills, providing conditions for productive interaction with others as important factors in the successful correction of behavioral and communication disorders in preschool children with mental retardation (MPD) has been recognized.

The system of specialized care for children with mental retardation developed and created by the efforts of domestic speech pathologists has achieved significant success in solving the problems of diagnosing and correcting cognitive impairments, developing general learning abilities in this group of children.

The most studied in the psychological and pedagogical literature are questions relating to general information about specific manifestations and causes of a decrease in the rate of mental development in children.

The communication of children with mental retardation has not been sufficiently studied, while the development of social and communication skills is the most important factor in the socialization of the child and compensation for violations in his development.

In the correctional work on the formation of social skills and abilities, an important role is given to speech pathologists, speech therapists, psychologists, but the role of a social teacher in this work is not considered at all. Meanwhile, the social and pedagogical factor in corrective work with preschool children with mental retardation cannot be ignored.

Features of preschool age as the most valuable and favorable in the development of social skills, the formation of a communicative function, as well as the insufficient development of evidence-based methods for the formation of social skills in preschool children with mental retardation in a preschool institution by the efforts of a social teacher are determined.

Social development is a consistent, multidimensional process and the result of socialization-individualization, during which a person is introduced to the “universal social” and constantly discovers, asserts himself as a subject of social culture.

Preschool age is a sensitive period in the social development of a person.

The social development of preschool children is carried out in the actual multidirectional activity to master the objective world and the world of relations between people.

A component of the social development of a preschooler is social skills (social and everyday and communicative), which are formed in a variety of activities of preschoolers, in their communication with adults and peers.

An analysis of the psychological and pedagogical characteristics of preschool children with mental retardation shows that the psychological and social development of such children is difficult, which necessitates the targeted formation of their social (social – household and communication) skills. In turn, a social teacher in work aimed at developing social skills in children with mental retardation should take into account the indicated features of children in this group.

A social teacher in a preschool educational institution for children with mental retardation is the organizer of active cooperation between teachers and specialists of preschool educational institutions, children, parents, various social structures to provide real, qualified, comprehensive and timely assistance to children with mental retardation in their correction and social rehabilitation, protection of their rights. ⁶

The main areas of social and pedagogical activities for the formation of social and communication skills in preschool institutions for children with mental retardation are:

– correctional and developmental activities with children to master social knowledge, skills and abilities;

– wide use of theatrical games and special exercises for the purposeful formation of social skills;

– active involvement of parents in the correctional process through their targeted training in the ability to interact with their children;

– professional development of teachers in the field of building educational communication and productive interaction with children with mental retardation in a preschool institution.

AMERICA’S MOST ACCREDITED

We’re so proud!

Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited – nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That’s a big difference,
and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here’s why.

SCHOOL-READY

What Learning Looks Like

Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.

Missouri City KinderCare Programs

Infant Programs (6 weeks–1 year)

Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our
centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with
you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant
classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and
ready to explore their world.

Toddler Programs (1–2 Years)

Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s
because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the
place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day. We’ll
help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn.

Discovery Preschool Programs (2–3 Years)

This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton
of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in
discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a
classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them
get used to a more structured school setting.

Preschool Programs (3–4 Years)

This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas
about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our
preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create
artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step:
kindergarten!

Prekindergarten Programs (4–5 Years)

When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and
writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect
letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families
in our community. Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language,
math, science, Spanish, and social skills.

Before- and After-School Programs (5–12 Years)

You can count on us to provide reliable care for your school-ager while you’re
at work, with safe transportation from our center to your child’s school and
back! Whether your child wants to start a drama club, build a volcano, or
create a comic book, they will have a place to follow their dreams. Your child
will start and end the day with a whole lot of fun!

School Break Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)

Winter break, spring break, summer break—when school’s out (but you still need to work), you
can count on KinderCare to provide a safe and supportive learning environment that’s focused
on fun. We welcome children ages 5–12 during school break times and make sure they have a
sensational, screen-free experience they won’t forget.

Participating Child Care Aware Center

KinderCare partners with Child Care Aware® of America to offer fee assistance for
Active Duty military families and flexible support to fit their needs when care at a Child
Development Center on the installation is not available.

Learning Adventures – Enrichment Program

Cooking Academy™ (3 – 12 Years)

In Cooking Academy, kids learn new recipes from cultures around the world and
develop a healthy relationship with food. They’ll whip up everything from Southwest
rainbow lettuce wraps to pumpkin muffins, building their skills in STEM, communication,
and more along the way. And yes—little chefs get to eat their culinary creations!

Music Explorers™ (2 – 4 Years)

KinderCare families are already giving a standing ovation to our newest Learning
Adventures program: Music Explorers! Kids will learn to sing, move, listen, play
instruments, and even create their own tunes. Our original curriculum blends math,
science, social studies, literacy, and mindfulness (think yoga!) for a uniquely KinderCare
way of learning the foundations of music.

Phonics Adventures® (2 – 4 Years)

Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love
books and words (and get ready for kindergarten) in our Phonics Adventures program.
From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, kids learn all about letters
and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who
attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we
have the data to prove it.)

Spanish

Spanish Adventures provides young learners with a foundation for later success with
the Spanish language. Music, games, children’s Spanish literature, and other tools give
children multiple opportunities to hear, practice, and see Spanish language to develop
vocabulary and conversation skills. Curriculum includes lessons on greetings, numbers,
colors, animals, family, body parts, and pets, as well as how to engage conversationally
during common scenarios at home, a restaurant, or at the zoo.

Our Teachers

We’re the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn’t enough though.
KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply,
we love our teachers and your child will, too.

Meet just a few of our amazing KinderCare teachers!

A KINDERCARE TEACHER WITH

An Artist’s Heart

“My classroom is full of art!” says Mary Annthipie-Bane, an award-winning early childhood educator at KinderCare. Art and creative expression, she says, help children discover who they really are.

We put our best-in-class teachers in a best-in-class workplace. We’re so proud to have been named one of Gallup’s 37 winners of the Great Workplace Award.
When you put great teachers in an engaging center, your children will experience
an amazing place to learn and grow.

• The staff at the Missouri City KinderCare will always be a part of my extended family. They are a caring group of ladies, and I can’t imagine needing anything more than what they offer.

  Mrs. L. – KinderCare Parent

• My daughter is so full of personality and her imagination is limitless. When we are in public and people see this, they are so impressed by her and often ask her age and if she is in school. I proudly let them know she’s at the Missouri City KinderCare. There were not many children she could interact with at home. I want to recognize the staff at this center for a job well done. I feel confident that my daughter will be ready for kindergarten. Mrs. Mary, Ms. Rissie, Mrs. T., and Ms. Jasmine have equipped her with great social skills. Ms. Yolanda has worked in conjunction with me to ensure her cognitive skills are where they need to be. Ms. Tina and Mrs. Paula are great. They are well aware of what’s going on in the center and quickly address any concerns I have. They always give positive energy to us when we are there. All this could not be done if they didn’t have the right leadership. Over the past four years we have been coming to KinderCare, I have witnessed your dedication to this center. Whatever our role is in the KinderCare family (parent, student, or staff), the staff have been firm, fair, and impartial and still offer a loving environment for us all. Thank you so much!

Missouri City TX Daycare | Missouri City TX Child Care

New Millennium Montessori School was voted the WINNER of the BEST NURSERY/DAYCARE and also a Finalist for The BEST LEARNING CENTER per Fort Bend Star “Readers Choice” Awards 2016, 2021. And Finalist for Star “Readers Choice” Awards 2017 for Best Nursery/Daycare, Learning Center, Private School. Welcome to New Millennium Montessori School (NMMS), a quality learning center located in Missouri City, Texas – a truly new, innovative and affordable concept in childcare and elementary education. NMMS is based on the study of life; it is pure creativity, as all life is creation. The child, like every other living organism, passes through successive stages of development, guided by what Dr. Montessori calls “sensitive periods.” These sensitive periods are shown in children of all races, of all cultures, as the child is a universal living organism. During any particular sensitive period, the child shows an insatiable hunger for the acquisition of some particular knowledge or skill. In NMMS every child pursues intellectual accomplishment and is given the keys to success through the sensorial material which is an aid to the classification and organization of the impressions that his mind already holds. Our full-time childcare centers offer the finest facilities available for children ages 3 months to school-aged. Our kindergarten program is designed for 4-1/2 to 5 year olds to prepare them for their all-important years in grade school and beyond. We offer an extensive school-age program for before and after school with planned activities to keep students busy with age appropriate groupings of 5 to 7 year olds and 8 to 12 year olds.

  Gateway to the West Arch in St. Louis

  Missouri is located in the Midwestern United States and belongs to
  northwest central states. Missouri borders the states
  Iowa to the north, Illinois to the east, Kentucky and
  Tennessee in the southeast, Arkansas in the south
  Oklahoma in the southwest, Kansas in the west, and Nebraska
  in North-west.

  Missouri is located on the territory of three US physiographic regions.
  The northern part of the state, the so-called “Northern Missouri Plains” – part
  US Interior Plains. These are prairies (steppes) with gentle and low
  hills, a significant part of which is actively used for agriculture. South of the Missouri River is
  Plateau of the Ozarks, part of the US Interior Highlands. Ozark –
  hilly plateau with numerous rocky outcrops, ravines and caves (Missouri ranks second, after
  Tennessee, a place among all US states in terms of the number of located on it
  cave areas). In southeastern Missouri, the Mississippi River Valley stretches
  Atlantic lowland. It is a region with very fertile soils,
  numerous lakes and swamps.

  Missouri has a humid continental climate with fairly cold winters and hot summers. On the
  located almost in the middle of the North American continent, the state influences both coming from the north
  cold Arctic air masses, as well as warm tropical ones, brought by winds from the Gulf of Mexico; for
  Missouri is not uncommon for temperature drops of twenty or more degrees per day.

  Missouri is named after the Missouri River, the largest tributary of the great American Mississippi River. In my
  The river was named after the Missouri Indians who lived in the Great Lakes region before the arrival of Europeans. Exact
  the meaning of the word “Missouri” is unknown, one of the options is “those who have hollowed out canoes.”

  The first Europeans to visit Missouri were Frenchmen Jacques Marquette and Louis Jollier in 1673 during their
  travel along the Mississippi River. Following them, in 1681–82, the Mississippi descended to the Gulf of Mexico.
  the famous pioneer Rene de La Salle, who declared the lands explored by him the property of France and called them
  “Louisiana”. In 1723, the French built Fort Orleans on the Missouri River, the first fortified European settlement in
  lands of the state, but after three years the fort was abandoned. Sainte-Genevieve, the oldest city in the state, was founded in 1735.
  Missouri and one of the oldest US cities west of the Mississippi River. After the end of the French-Indian
  In the war in 1762, Spain gained control of part of Louisiana (including Missouri). Founded in 1764
  a settlement that grew into the modern city of St. Louis. Late eighties-early nineties
  years of the 18th century, the number of American settlers in Missouri sharply increased; by the beginning of the 19th century, most of the inhabitants
  region were Americans.

  In 1800 Louisiana formally became French again, and in 1803 the United States bought it from
  France. Two years later, in 1805, the US Congress decided to create the Territory
  Louisiana, Saint Louis became the capital of the new territory. Over the next few decades, St. Louis and Missouri
  were the starting point at first for researchers in the Western United States (including the famous
  expeditions of Lewis and Clark in 1804 and Zebulon Pike in 1806), as well as for most of the westward
  settlers.

  In 1812, after the formation of the state of Louisiana, the territory of the same name received a new
  name is Missouri. In 1821, American legislators passed what became known as the “Missouri Compromise”
  which two states could be admitted to the union at the same time, in one of which slavery was to be
  permitted, while the other is prohibited. On August 10, 1821, Missouri became the twenty-fourth (and “slave”)
  US state, at the same time the “free” state of Maine was created.

  The state’s largest city, Kansas City, now has about 495,000 residents. In the capital of Missouri, Jefferson City,
  about 45,000 inhabitants. The largest metropolis in the state was formed around St. Louis (more than 2,800,000 people).

  Missouri has a very diverse economy with a well-developed service, industry, agriculture and
  mining. Missouri’s main industries are transportation engineering,
  defense, aerospace, light, food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Most of the plants and factories
  concentrated in the area of ​​the largest Missouri cities – Kansas City and St. Louis. Most wanted
  the state’s crops are soybeans, corn, sorghum, cotton, rice. Also in Missouri is well developed
  livestock, farms raise cattle (both for meat and dairy) and pigs. Main mineral
  the wealth of the state is lead ores and limestone.
