Classroom Projects for Kindergarten

Kindergarten is an exploratory grade. Students love school and learning. Everything is new and exciting. Projects in this grade engage minds and hands to create a lasting visual image, helping them retain a new lesson or topic. Each project should relate to what is being taught in class and should introduce the basics, such as weather, colors and animals, so students are prepared to move to the next grade at the end of the year.
  1. Class Booklet

    • Create a class booklet for a subject you are studying. Have each student contribute. It can be as simple as their picture and their own handwritten signature or a more complex drawing or activity. For example, during fall, have each student color their own scarecrow and draw a picture of their own farm using vegetables you have learned about and colors they know. Do this over the course of several days of lessons and then compile a booklet for the students to look through during reading time.

    Handprint Holidays

    • Mark each holiday with a handprint creation. This activity will teach colors and holiday practices. During the fall, handprints form a turkey. They form a Christmas tree in the winter, a four leaf clover with a stem in the spring and a flower for the coming summer. Designate specific colors to use and have students practice writing a sentence under their picture. Hang the creations on a designated wall, alternating them during each season.

    Animal Puppets

    • Kindergartners learn to recognize different kinds of animals in this stage. To help in this process, use paper plates or brown lunch bags to make animal puppets. Assign each student a different animal and provide a head for them to color, cut and glue on their bag or plate. Have each student present their animal to the class and share one to two sentences about why they like that particular animal.

    Confetti Rainbows

    • In your study of color, have each person create their own rainbow out of confetti. Give each student a blank piece of paper. Teach them the colors of the rainbow with the acronym ROY G. BIV--red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Provide confetti and allow students to create the rainbow. Have them label each color to practice writing and spelling.
