Themes

Ideas for activities should be based on the observed interests and development abilities of the children. Children sometimes like to do the same activity week after week building their understanding of concepts and skills over time. Some children need encouragement to try different things and you need to have a good understanding of their interests. Not all children are interested in the same thing (like adults). Below are some suggestions of themes you could try in your playgroup.
