Celebrate, sing and learn
For preschoolers, holidays are a joyful way to learn about the calendar, traditions and each other. Little ones count the days until a celebration, learn holiday words with picture cards, and sing simple songs that build language and rhythm. They practice colors, shapes and fine motor skills with crafts, and learn about kindness by making cards for family. Holidays also help them understand time: "Valentine's Day comes after winter break!" The click moment is a child recognizing a holiday picture and telling you all about how their family celebrates.
Short, hands-on and full of songs. These are the moves we use all year.
Play the Valentine's Day Song a few days before the holiday and add simple hand motions: a heart shape, a hug, a wave. Kids sing it while passing out valentines. Repetition and movement help little ones remember the words and the kindness behind them.
Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).
Try it withValentine's Day SongSongsOpen it →Show Thanksgiving picture cards one at a time and ask, "What do you see? Have you seen this before?" Kids name the pictures and share their own family traditions. It builds vocabulary and lets every child's family be part of the lesson.
Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).
