2. Toys:
Arrange toys, such as stuffed animals or dolls, in order of height, from "tall" to "tallest."
Interactive Activities:-
1. Sorting Game:
Prepare a set of cards or objects with different heights and ask children to sort them into "tall," "taller," and "tallest" categories.
2. Measurement:
Use measuring tools, such as rulers or tape, to measure objects and compare their heights.
Story Time:-
The Three Friends
Once upon a time, there were three friends - Tim, Tom, and Tony.
Tim was tall. He could reach the cookies on the middle shelf.
Tom was taller. He could reach the cookies on the top shelf.
Tony was the tallest. He could reach the cookies on the very top shelf without even using a stool!
One day, they decided to have a cookie party. They needed to get cookies from the top shelf. Tim tried, but he was too short. Tom tried, but he was still a little too short.
Tony, being the tallest, could reach the cookies easily. He got the cookies, and they had a wonderful party.
Moral:-
The story teaches us that everyone has something special about them. Tony was the tallest, but Tim and Tom were good at other things too!
Questions for Kindergarten Children:-
1. Who was the tallest among the three friends?
2. Who could reach the cookies on the middle shelf?
3. Who needed a stool to reach the cookies?
Games:-
1. Tall, Taller, Tallest:
Play a comparison game where children have to identify which object is "tall," "taller," or "tallest."
2. Height Scavenger Hunt:
Create a scavenger hunt where children have to find objects in the classroom or school that fit each height category.
