Play-Centered Classroom Management for the "Golden Five Weeks" of March
March is a very important month in kindergarten.
The main goal of this period is to help children adapt to kindergarten and form the foundation for basic living habits.
Even the smallest habits need to be taught repeatedly, and it is effective to start systematically from March.
Kindergartens, which focus on life guidance, can be said to have a 'golden period' of at least 4 weeks and up to 6 weeks, taking into account age, developmental level, interests, and class characteristics.
If you spend this golden period in a structured and fulfilling way, you can run your class without much difficulty throughout the year.


For kindergarten teachers, the big question is, 'How will we spend this time?'
The two authors, both practicing kindergarten teachers, have continuously observed and researched children to create authentic play where children enjoy activities and learn naturally.
This book introduces 109 games that children enjoy the most and can help them develop good basic living habits through such research and efforts.
This book offers a new perspective on play, allowing you to guide children to enjoy kindergarten life by playing the games they enjoy.

Publisher's Review
109 Real Learning Games for the "Golden Five Weeks" of the New Semester
March is a very meaningful and important month for children, parents, and teachers.
Young children are filled with anticipation, wondering, "What fun things will happen at kindergarten?" and "What kind of friends will I meet?"
Parents worry, "Will my child adapt well to kindergarten?", "What kind of teacher will my child meet?", "Will my child get along well with friends?"
Teachers also have both excitement and worries about what kind of children they will meet and how they will spend the year with them.
Fortunately, despite these concerns, most children adapt well to kindergarten life.


Especially during this time of year in March, teachers must focus on the children to meet their expectations.
Unfortunately, despite the teacher's passion for helping children develop basic life habits, there are times when there is no significant change in the child's behavior.
The problem is that in such cases, both children and teachers become exhausted before March is even over.
The solution to this problem is ‘play’.
There is power in play.
Through play, children learn greetings, standing in line properly, and various habits, and naturally form relationships with friends.
In this way, children learn most enjoyably and naturally when they play.
Recently, the educational field has been emphasizing play more, and we can confirm that the revised Nuri Curriculum (draft) based on the ‘Early Childhood Education Innovation Plan’ discussed at the Ministry of Education held recently also emphasizes learning through play for young children.


Basic living habits in a jiffy! Relationship-building play in a jiffy!
Part 1, "Establishing a Play-Centered Class in March," covers preparations for classroom management, creating a weekly education plan, and key points for each week.

During the first week of March, it is very important to build positive relationships with teachers and friends and to adapt well to the new environment.
Toddlers who are attending kindergarten for the first time may be reluctant to be separated from their parents or may feel anxious about the unfamiliar environment of the new kindergarten.
Therefore, it is a time when recognizing developmental levels and needs, and providing warm and sensitive help and consideration, are absolutely necessary.
During the first week, you should analyze preliminary information about the infant and carefully observe the infant's behavior during activities.
Based on this information, we can understand the infant and help him or her adapt to new environments.


In week 2, we will learn specifically about the promises that must be kept in kindergarten.
For 3-year-olds, we teach them the simplest promises step by step through fun games, and for 5-year-olds, we help them recognize the need for rules and learn to keep them on their own.
Additionally, we create a safe and accepting atmosphere to help children adapt, along with the perception that kindergarten is a fun place.


In week 3, we will explore and learn more about the various play spaces in the classroom.
If your child is immersed in various activities without exploring the play space, you can skip this. However, 3-year-olds may have difficulty with new things due to fear even when there are various toys, so they need to have experience playing with a teacher.
At this time, we also learn about the safe use of tools and toys.


In the fourth week, you can instill a sense of stability and anticipation in children by helping them understand the flow and order of their daily routine, including going to school, free play, large and small group activities, lunch, naps and rest, and outdoor play.
We also take a detailed look at the promises we need to keep during our daily routine.
You can set promises with your child about things to keep when gathering together or doing group activities, such as sharing stories, promises to keep during snack and lunch times, promises to keep at the outdoor playground, and promises regarding safety when getting to and from school.


Part 2, 'March Play-Centered Classroom Management in Practice', introduces games that can actually be played each week.
This book introduces a total of 109 games, and covers topics such as forming relationships, having good eating habits, washing hands, safety guidance, brushing teeth, greeting, guiding routines, free play, organizing, standing in line, and using the bathroom.
Additionally, each game is detailed with age appropriateness, supplies, methods, and tips.


From worry and fear to excitement and joy
If you approach class in March with thorough preparation and confidence, you'll have more fulfilling and rewarding days, even if you make mistakes.
However, this book is only one teaching method and not the correct answer, so it is necessary to reconstruct it yourself to suit various variables such as the atmosphere of the kindergarten and class, and the characteristics of the children.
This process will be the starting point for me to find the class I dream of, a class I can create together with the children in my class.
Now you can meet your children with excitement and joy, not worry.
