| Project Name | Answering Numbers, Colors, Vowels, and Consonants |
| Objective | Enable children to recognize and answer questions about numbers (1-10), colors, vowels, and consonants (B-H) through engaging activities that promote cultural appreciation via reading and writing. |
| Duration | 4 weeks (2 sessions per week, approx. 30-40 minutes each) |
| Stage | Time | Activities | Description & Adaptation for Kindergarten | Expected Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stage 1: Starting Point (Sensitization) | 1 session (30 mins) | Storytelling & Discussion: Read a culturally diverse story involving numbers, colors, and alphabet sounds. Use visual aids and gestures. | Use picture books, puppets, or objects representing different cultures. Engage children with questions like "What color is this?" or "Can you find the number 3?" | Children become aware of the importance of numbers, colors, and letters in everyday life and culture. |
| Stage 2: What I Know & Want to Know (Research & Needs Identification) | 1 session (30 mins) | Interactive Brainstorm: Children share what they know about numbers, colors, vowels, and consonants. Use a chart or drawing area. | Children suggest numbers/colors/letters they recognize. Use prompts and simple questions to guide their responses. | Identify prior knowledge and areas needing reinforcement; foster curiosity. |
| Stage 3: Planning the Service Activity | 1 session (30 mins) | Designing Simple Activities: Kids help choose how they will practice (e.g., matching games, singing, drawing). Prepare materials (color cards, number cards, letter flashcards). | Collaborate with children to select engaging activities like coloring, matching, or singing songs that involve the concepts. | Children feel ownership and motivation to participate actively. |
| Stage 4: Executing the Service | 2 sessions (each 40 mins) | Activities Include:<br>- Number and color matching games<br>- Singing songs about numbers and colors<br>- Letter recognition and simple writing (B-H)<br>- Cultural storytelling incorporating colors and numbers | Use hands-on activities like puzzles, drawing, and singing to reinforce concepts. Incorporate stories from different cultures involving numbers/colors. | Development of recognition, pronunciation, and cultural awareness. |
| Stage 5: Sharing, Evaluating & Reflecting | 1 session (40 mins) | Presentations & Reflection: Children showcase their drawings, sing songs, or perform small plays. Use a reflection circle to discuss what they learned. | Encourage children to share their favorite activity or story, emphasizing cultural diversity and language development. | Strengthen understanding, language skills, and cultural appreciation. |
