The best classroom games for 3-year-olds are song and poem games. These are games in which all students can participate. Gather students into a circle and give them a chance to sing together. The more action that you can add to the songs, the quicker the song will be picked up and remembered by the students. Songs should be easy, should rhyme and should have some actions that you can do along with them. These are the most successful games that 3-year-olds can participate in.
Three-year-olds spend a lot of time indoors, so playing games during classroom time will hold their interest. "Duck, Duck, Goose" is a great game for 3-year-olds because they can get physically involved.
Playing with blocks and puzzles can help 3-year-olds learn to manipulate items. Finding the right age-appropriate games is easy. Three-year-olds should be playing games that have two or three pieces, such as "Put the Balloon in the Garbage Can," and puzzles with four or five pieces.
The curriculum for 3-year-olds should include games that are played outside. Moving your classroom outside is a great way to enhance learning for all students. Being outside is essential for healthy growth of both mind and body. Being outside means that kids have a chance to run and play and explore their environment. There are plenty of great outdoor games that 3-year-olds can play. These include games like "Tag," "Freeze" and "Red Light, Green Light." Other outdoor games that 3-year-olds can take part in include scavenger hunts that are made easy for them.
