Paint, play, sing and move
Specials are a big part of kindergarten. In art, kids explore colors and shapes and learn to cut, glue and use their imaginations. In music, they keep a steady beat, sing simple songs and discover instruments. In PE, they practice running, jumping, balancing and sharing in group games. In technology, they learn to use a mouse or tablet safely. These classes grow motor skills, listening and confidence. The click moment is when a shy child lights up because this is the class where they shine.
You don't need a special room. These moves work in any kindergarten classroom.

Specials are classes like art, music, PE and technology. Kindergartners usually go to each once or twice a week.
They build fine and gross motor skills, listening, creativity and social skills. They also give kids a break from sitting and help them focus better later.
Keep crayons, paper and scissors handy, and sing and dance together. Simple, regular play is plenty.
Most kindergartners can run, jump, hop on one foot, and throw and catch a large ball. Playing games helps them practice.
