Develop critical thinking skills with your early years IB PYP kiddos. Visible thinking comes into play with this Valentine’s Day themed activity asks the children to look at the images and then group them as they see the connections. There are no wrong answers with this. You want them to make connections in their own mind, cut out and group the pictures according to the connections that they make.
This can be done independently or collaboratively. It is always fun to listen in to the children's dialogue as they compare and categorise the images according to their own thinking. And of course, the collaborative discussions are enormously valuable with developing thinking skills.
There are differentiated activities to allow for extra support with those children who may need more structure.
•Pictures only
•Pictures and words
•Hexagonal thinking to connect
•Differentiated recording sheets
Follow up with a group or class reflection, sharing the finished results and discussing the children’s similarities and differences in their thinking. They love to share their thinking!
Simply print the sheets and use with centres or guided group work.
You can find many more inquiry based tips and tools in my store and on my blog. Subscribers receive TONS of freebies. So please do follow along.
And please do let me know what you think of this activity. I am venturing into creating materials for the early years IB PYP kiddos and your input will be valuable.
P.S. If you'd like to get £8.00 back to spend on PYP teaching tools every single month, take a look here at our Essentials for Inquiry members' hub!
Enjoy!
