UNIT 71: CLASS ACTIVITIES

Through the class activities the teacher can develop creativity in the preschool child
by giving importance and value to what the child has made and by encouraging him to
develop his own ideas and thoughts. For example, when the child paints a boat on the sea, the
teacher could ask him what he had painted, what colors he had used and why he had painted
it. In this way, not only the teacher, but also the child is evaluating and describing the
product. Furthermore, if the teacher ascertains that a child is not happy with the task he has
accomplished, the teacher should show him the value of the task. This will give the child
security in his work and will allow him to further develop his creativity.
