    The document provides a learning experience plan for a preschool activity using colored shape mats. The objective is for children to learn shapes, colors, and patterns while developing gross motor skills by jumping between mats. The activity involves laying out 18 colored mats in different shapes, having children identify and sort the mats by color and shape, and using challenges to encourage jumping and hopping between mats. Questions will be asked to reinforce learning shapes and colors. Children will conclude by putting the mats away in an organized manner.

    GROUP LEARNING EXPERIENCE PLANNING SHEET

    Student Name: Helena Toolsiedas Course Code: ECS 3030

    Age Group: Preschool Date: October 12th, 2017

    Learning Experience: Coloured Shape Mats

    Programming Purpose:

    Previously, I have done an activity with foam blocks. This activity was interesting for the preschoolers
    because they were able to explore a different texture of blocks. However, in this activity, I want to put more
    of a focus on shapes. Not only shapes but also colours. When the children did activities with shapes before,
    they were not able to identify most of them. Also, the last activity I did used colours and gross motor
    movement and they were very interested. Due to this, I want to implement an activity that can encompass
    shapes, colours and gross motor.

    Objective:

    Children will get a chance to explore shapes such as a triangle, square and a star. With this, I will also try to
    incorporate some gross motor movement by having the kids jump from mat to mat based on either the
    color or shape. The children will understand two-dimensional shapes (4.17) in the ELECT. By counting the
    sides and corners, identifying similar attributes, and recognizing the names of each shape, they will be able
    to successfully do so. In addition, children can also sort all of the identical shapes into groups.

    Next, the children will be able to identify patterns (4.18) in the ELECT. Because each of the mats are different
    colours, the children can identify different patters such as the shapes or the colours of each mat. They can
    identify other objects in the room that look similar to the shapes that they have.

    Lastly, the children will be able to use their gross motor skills (5.2) in the ELECT. By jumping from mat to mat
    either on one leg or two, jumping in a pattern, or even galloping, they can increase their coordination. They
    can do so based on jumping from either a star to a circle or a red star to a blue star etc. I want them to
    explore the mats however they want and I will try to incorporate a lot of movement.
    Materials: Modifications:

    - 18 coloured mats Stabilize:


    - 6 squares
    - 6 circles
    - 6 stars Simplify: If they cannot identify shapes, I will ask
    them to identify colours

    Enhance: I will ask them to identify the number of


    sides/ points on each shape

    Tweak: Lay the mats out onto the carpet

    Opening (Introduction)

    I will open this activity by asking the children to join me on the carpet. Then I will ask them who wants to
    play with some shapes? Next, I will show them the shapes and lay them out onto the carpet and observe
    what they do and ask them questions such as how many sides does a square have or what colour is this
    circle? I will also use do-it signals to give them a clear explanation of what to do and I will also use
    challenges to see what gross motor movements they are capable of doing.

    Body (Content)

    1. First, I will invite the children to the carpet


    2. Then I will lay out all of the mats in no particular order
    3. I will observe if they sit on the mats, pick them up or start to move them around
    4. I will then ask each child to find a mat based on colour
    5. Then I will ask them to find a mat based on its shape
    6. Next, I will ask them to put all the mats down and use challenges to see if they can hop/skip/jump
    from one mat to the next
    7. I will also ask them if they can jump on a star, circle or square
    8. Then I will ask everyone to find a shape and count how many points it has
    9. Lastly, I will ask them to pick up the mats and put them away
    Closing (Ending)

    To conclude, I will ask the children to put their shapes away based on the colour or the actual shape itself.

    Transition

    The children will tidy up after free play by listening to the Tidy Up song and get ready for lunch.
