Games To Support Montessori Learning
Maria Montessori carefully
developed her famous learning materials such as the pink tower and the broad staircase to help
children learn the basic concepts of education via the senses.
You are probably familiar with some of these materials from when you come to see your
child at Friday’s Child Montessori
But what about at home?
You may or may not have some of the equipment at home for
your child to play with as a way of supporting what they learn at
our early childhood centre.
It’s not necessary to have your own copies of the sensory
materials to help your child, and you can probably make do with what you already have, or what you can find easily in your
local toy shop.
The games and toys that you can do at home should help your
child explore various dimensions (length, width and height – and probably volume
should be added here) or attributes (shape and colour).
Alternatively, the games should help your child practise their
self-care skills.
So what can you do?
Make your own dressing frames so your child can practise zipping,
buttoning and tying.
Building blocks.
This will help your child explore
the concepts of length and width – and height. Don’t forget to
crash the tower down at the end of the building.
Play Guess Who (the classic board game with the faces).
This game is very good for
exploring attributes that apply to people (e.g. gender, hair
colour, eye colour).
There are really a lot of games that can support your child’s
learning..
