Turn as many practice sessions as possible into small group games, large group games, individual or pair hands on activities. If you have a specific concepts you are interested in activity ideas for you are welcome to email me and I may be able to be more specific. I find that at the Kindergarten level, their fine motor is really not all that great yet and worksheets can be "tiring and boring" for many of them. And really, we know they are going to learn more through hands on fun. What skills are you working on presently? I may have some songs appropiate for their age in my files.<br><b>References : </b><br> I would recommend steering away from worksheet type of activities.
