Smile Break

Picture
Smile breaks do just that - give the kids a break and an open invitation to smile, to enjoy, to marvel at our wonderful world.  I've used them in lots of different ways - for a break during a session, waiting for the bell to go at the end of the day, while the kids are eating playlunch, for a cool down after play.  The great number of them indicates how much the kids love them and ask for more.  (Also, how much I enjoyed making them) I've also found them to be great stimuli for writing, vocabulary development, oral language extension and springboards for great discussion.
