How Do Ideas Travel?
Many ideas come from beyond our immediate surroundings. How do they get to us? Information moves from one person to another through telephones, mail, television, radio, faxes, and computers. Even posters, bumper stickers, and graffiti communicate ideas. Try these activities:
Activities for ages 4-5
- By watching television and listening to the radio, your children will receive ideas from the outside world. Where do the television shows they watch come from? What about radio shows?
- Encourage children to communicate with friends and relatives. They can dictate letters to them, or send them pictures. They can talk with them on the telephone.
- Go around your house and count all the different "communications systems." There are the more obvious things like a telephone, a radio, and a television set. You might even have a computer or an intercom. Count the mailbox, as well as the newspaper, magazines, and books from which you get information. Don't forget pens and pencils.
