Vet Checklist for Pretend Play

Vet Checklist for Pretend Play These are some printable props that will come in handy when your kids will pretend to be vets. I suggest laminating the name tags, the open signs, and the checklist (for durability). To make the game more realistic, you can use other props: a medical carrycase, a doctor costume, toys, a small bed, band aids, blankets, etc. For more information, please download the preview.

< strong > Voices for Fingerplays and Songs< /strong > It can be boring for kids to repeat the same song until they have learned it. But here's something to change that! Print the flashcards on A4 paper, then cut them out and laminate them. Use a textile bag (like the one in the picture), or a small basket/box to keep them in. When it’s time to sing a song or recite a rhyme, do it first in a normal voice, then let kids choose the other ways, by pulling a flashcard from the bag. *****

Experience

Teaching style

I prefer the child-centered approach to teaching: children learn better if they actively participate in the learning process, not just by observing what the teacher is doing.

Additional biographical information

From time to time, I will also post resources for toddlers and babies, because I create them for my daughter. If they're a hit, then I will post them here. :)
