Circle Time

Circle Time is the area that most parents have the hardest time with! Here are a few tips and ideas to help get you started.

Some tips to remember:

  • Start out slow-it will take a while for your kids to get what you want them to do
  • Remember your time limit and don't go past it-this will depend on the age of your kids and attention level
  • Have circle time in a room with little toys and distractions. I use one of my kids rooms and shut the door so the little one stays put
  • Alternate activities to keep their attention
  • Give little ones something to hold and play with that goes with your theme

What to include:

  • Story time
  • Songs
  • Numbers/letters/colors
  • Jesus time
  • Calendar/season/weather

Check back later because I will post lots of ideas you can use for circle time for fall themes (our Oct. theme) Do you have a great circle time idea for fall? Leave a comment or email us at becentsable@gmail.com!
