[Childcare] Ideas for learning about the SDGs through play

Nature play

[Guppura] Making the SDGs Personal: Children Gain Hands-on Experience at Lake Biwa

How about creating original SDGs that make use of your local natural environment? Use nearby nature—such as lakes, forests, and parks—as themes, and think about what goals are needed to protect them.

With a little introduction from the teacher, children might come up with freely imaginative ideas.

It can also be a chance to rediscover the importance of places you often visit for off-site activities.

Flowers, trees, and other natural elements may disappear someday if we don’t protect them.

It would be wonderful if both children and adults could cherish nature.

Learn while you play! Here are some ideas for playing donut shop.

Playing store is a great opportunity for children to enjoy themselves while learning knowledge and habits related to food.

By having fun and developing an interest in food through play, and by dividing roles during play, children can also learn the importance of communication and cooperation with others.

Items to prepare include chopsticks, spoons, vinyl tape, clothespins, milk cartons, packing tape, origami paper, and envelopes.

Give it a try!

Let’s grow vegetables and eat them

First Steps in Food Education: Let’s Grow and Eat Vegetables Together ♪ — Bok Choy and Spinach — (Nursery and Kindergarten)

Let’s experience nurturing life! Here are some ideas for growing and eating vegetables.

Some children may have only ever seen vegetables at supermarkets or other stores.

By carefully growing vegetables together with teachers, guardians, and friends, let’s learn the importance of life.

As children care for the plants every day and witness the vegetables growing little by little, they will gain a renewed appreciation for the value of food.

The sense of accomplishment and joy when they finally eat the vegetables they grew themselves will surely become an unforgettable moment.

Taste-Developing Food Education Apron <Taste / Dental and Oral Hygiene> [Preschool Teaching Material]

Learn with an apron theater! Here are some ideas for a food education apron.

These ideas are recommended for anyone who wants to teach the importance of meals and the characteristics of ingredients through an apron theater.

This time, let’s learn words that express taste.

In the story, the main character “Takkun” takes a bite of an ingredient and chews well, then asks the children questions like, “I wonder what it tastes like?” As you go along, engage in dialogue so children can learn expressions such as “sweet,” “salty,” and “sour.” It will be a wonderful opportunity for interactive learning.
