Question

4 strategies you would implement to support children who are 3/4 years of age attention span development in the classroom. 2 paragraphs for each strategy

Answer 1

• A dot to dot exercise helps build focus skills because a child has to pay attention and make sure they connect the dots in numerical order. It also allows children to concentrate on their writing skills so that their lines create the intended image contained within in the dot to dot puzzle.
• Questions is a fun game for 3- and 4-year-olds that helps them focus on one item as they learn about it. To play, an item is placed in front of the child. He is then allowed to look at it briefly. The teacher next asks him a series of questions one right after the other quickly so that he must answer them by organizing his information only on the item he is looking at.This activity requires him to concentrate on one specific subject or item at a time, a valuable skill once he starts school. This activity can also be modified with tougher questions as a child gets older.
• Memory is a classic game of childhood and one that teaches focus to preschool-age children. Teacher should allow preschoolers to win because it will encourage them to focus on the game.
• Complete an arts or craft project. Ideas for an art project include painting, drawing or sketching while craft projects might include cross-stitch or stringing beads. This activity will not only encourage preschool creativity but will increase attention span through fostering interest and maintaining focus and concentration.
• Get a classroom pet. You can incorporate caring for the pet into the daily class schedule which will encourage a sense of responsibility and care among pupils. In addition, spending allocated periods of time looking after a pet will improve concentration and focus. In turn, this will increase their attention spans.
