All About Me KG Homeschool Lessons
Updated: Nov 3
Here's a week's amount of activities for All About Me KG Homeschool Lessons:
Morning Basket: Show and tell with a special item each day.
One idea for a show and tell activity is to have your kindergartener bring in a favorite plush toy. It's a great way for them to connect with their emotions and express themselves.
Another idea is to have them bring in a family photo that holds a special place in their heart. They can talk about why it's important to them and share the emotions it brings up. It's such a heartwarming activity that helps them understand the value of family and relationships.
Another idea is to ask your kindergartener to bring in a self-portrait they've drawn or painted. It's a fantastic opportunity for them to express themselves through art and explore their emotions. They can explain their artwork, talk about the colors they chose, and share the emotions they were feeling while creating it.
These activities are not only super fun, but they also help your kindergartener develop their artistic skills, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence. It's a win-win! So why join in and take turns showing and telling. Include your older children and have family bonding moments at Morning Basket.

Then talk about how the weather makes you feel. Draw happy suns and clouds or sad rain clouds and angry lightning to represent some emotions.
Phonics: Introduce letter “S” and "A" and its sound.
Play a game of naming objects that begin with /s/ and /a/. Go on a scavenger hunt to find things that begin with /s/ and /a/.
You may use these coloring pages:
Numeracy: Count to 10 using fingers and objects.
Play a game of 'How Many Fingers Am I Holding Up?' Let your little one touch and count your fingers. Then let him/ her have a go too. Finger isolation will still be a challenge for some kindergarteners. So lend them yours while you play the game. Or you can trace your hands on a sheet of construction paper and paste them on another - different colored paper. Paste only the palms part and leave the fingers part lose so you can fold them up while counting.
Quiet Time: Listen to soothing music or an audiobook.
