    Social Skills and 'All About Me'

    I'm thinking of starting an "All About Me" unit next week with my group. Mainly to teach social skills for my preschoolers, but we'll throw in some body parts, my family, my birthday and gross motor too.

    One of my dck is quite behind my son socially, and my son doesn't excell in that department either, so I think it's needed. Particularly I'd like to work on emotions (both kids), and engaging with and responding to others (dcb), as well as the other physical parts of the unit.

    Does anyone have any ideas for activities or books that would fit well with this theme? Things that have helped preschoolers engage in conversation with each other?

    I'm already planning to do:
    Life-size tracings
    Show and tell (for the older kids) - favourite toy, pets
    How do you feel today (circle time activity)
    Emotions flash cards and q and a (again at circle time and only 1 per day as it'll only be the older ones who can really appreciate it)
    Things I love collage
    From head to toe - Eric Carle
    Family pictures - paint frame (to be kept here)

    Thanks in advance

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
