Kindergarten Pretend and Learn Lesson
Unit: Friends Pretend and Learn Theme: Latin American Cultures
Implementing the Pretend and Learn Lesson in the Kindergarten Classroom
Center Introduction: 1. Set up the center using materials below. 2. Print and laminate “Architects and Artists” and guide them through a discussion of style and details. 3. Use blocks to make some structures you see in the building pictures. 4. Connection: Guide students to make columns on the floor for each country and sort the art and
buildings. (This activity could be repeated with other categories) 5. Discuss “What to Do” and “What Not to Do” in the center.
Center Participation and Organization: Students can: 1. When students chose a country to travel to, they explore all the images in the envelope. 2. Students can act as a pilot as board the airplane and as customs agents to get their passport stamped. 3. Then students use their imaginations and blocks and art supplies to make the attractions of that country. 4. Print each country’s attractions on a different color paper to help keep them organized. Students can find
all the food pictures and compare and contrast. Cover the furniture in the Pretend and Learn Center. Laminate flags and paste on medium manila envelopes; then attach them on the surfaces for each of the six Latin American countries. Laminate art photos and architecture photos and place in the envelopes.
