What Do I Do Here?
Toddlers can learn about the regions in their own home and neighborhood. We use certain areas for different purposes. There are areas with water, like bathrooms and kitchens, or areas with beds like bedrooms. Many kids over 4 years of age may be able to explore the part of the Earth that is closest to them and begin naming the traits that make it special. Try these activities:
Kids Activities for ages 2-3
- Help your kids understand physical regions by examining areas in your home. Is there an upstairs and a downstairs? Is there an eating area and a sleeping area? Eating meals, resting, napping, and sleeping in the same place everyday gives toddlers an initial sense that there are places with distinct characteristics in which you do certain activities.
- When you travel through your community or take trips, name the different regions--the shopping area, the playground, the church, synagogue, or mosque and your own street.
Kids Activities for ages 4-5
- Take a trip to a region that is very different from your own. A nearby park will do, or you can travel to a waterfront, mountain, or desert. If you can't travel, look at pictures in a book. Talk about how these regions differ from your own neighborhood and from each other.
- As you travel in different regions, look for familiar features. Do you see a school that other children attend? Is there a church or an office building?
