Making Family Engagement Fun ⛄️
HERE'S A PERFECT ACTIVITY FOR FAMILY ENGAGEMENT
With that in mind here is an amazing activity that involves children and their families and your program. Kelsey Winegar of Little Stompers Preschool in Eugene, Oregon shares this idea
SNOWMAN CONTEST AND POTLUCK
Families are asked to make a snowman creation together with their child and bring it into school. At the end of a 2 week period they are given to make one a potluck is planned to show off all the snow creations. Each one receives an award based on a standout feature of their snow people. It is always super fun and families get so creative. Families enjoy the process and the end potluck celebration is a great grand finale! We do this every January. Happy to share more information if you're interested in trying it one year! ⛄️
*This idea started at my mother's childcare program back in the 90s and we have taken it on at my program since opening 8 years ago!
Look at some of this year’s entries: What awards would you choose? Most colorful? Best Use of materials? Sweetest Snowman? Best Action Scene?
