For creativity this week, consider offering an invitation to create a gift for dad!
Dads are going to enjoy anything their little ones make. I especially enjoyed giving personalized gifts that they can look back on and reminisce about how young their children once were. Some of my favorite gifts to give are handprint crafts, or photo albums that contain childcare photos of their children from the year. Here are few ideas from our Pre-K Fun Communty Members

Here is a tutorial for this fun "I Love You to Pieces" frame
  • Set out collage materials and pictures of children with their dads for creating collages.

  • Dress like Dad. Do a little research to find out what professions the Fathers in your program are in. Add dress shirts, Suit Coats, neckties, Helmets, Men's Shoes (Boots, Dress Shoes), Keyboards, Cell Phones, Keyboards, Tool Boxes, Brief Cases, etc. to your space.  Add Photo's of your Daycare Father's to the space.
  • Set up a grilling dramatic play invitation! Find out more about this adorable grill on Kate's Creative Space

Language & Literacy Activities

Every great lesson starts with a good book! Here are a few of my favorites for this theme!
Picture
Member Ashtynn shared a photo of the All About my Dad survey and other gifts her group made!
  • Invite preschoolers to make a card for their dad for Father's Day. Provide vocabulary cards with words they may want to copy such as: Dad, Love, You, Happy. 
  • Have Preschoolers dictate their responses in the All About My Dad Survey (there 2 versions included in the Pre-K Printable Fun Father's Day Activity Pack)
  • Invite preschoolers to make a card for their dad for Father's Day. Provide vocabulary cards with words they may want to copy such as: Dad, Love, You, Happy. 
  • Write the name of each child's dad on a shape and hide it around the room. Challenge children to find the shape with their dad's name on it. If they are not yet able to sound out or recognize the name by site you can give clues such as "Your dad's name is written on a blue circle" or write the names on a chalkboard and place a picture of the child next to it.

  • Practice matching 2D shapes (and build fine motor skills at the same time) with this set of baseball shape clip cards found inside the Father's Day activity pack.
  • Build color matching skills with this tie sorting activity inside the Father's Day Activity pack.
  • Compare and sort Father's Day objects with the Time with Dad matching activity inside the Father's Day Activity Pack
Picture
  • Set up an invitation to create a dad statue out of recycled food cans and bottle caps. 
Picture
  • Instead of Simon Says, consider playing Father Says! Be sure to include instructions that will get children moving their body in a variety of way to exercise all their muscles. 
  • Part of keeping children safe and healthy is making sure they are able to state the name of their parents or caregivers. During large group time give each student an opportunity to say their dad's name (first and last) and share something they like to do with their dad. Be ready to provide support for students that may not know their dad's first and last name (have them written on a card for reference). 
  • Work on fine motor skills by setting up an invitation to create a Father's Day Puzzle. Have parents bring in pictures of each child with their dad. Laminate the photos, then provide scissors for children to cut into shapes or strips.

  • Set up a Dress Like Dad Relay Race: Set a pile of men's clothing at one end of the room (be sure to include a variety of clothing such as small men's t-shirts, button up shirts, baseball hats, and clip on ties).  
  • Filling Dad's Shoes: Provide mens shoes in a variety of styles and sizes for children to try on. Encourage discussion about what type of shoes their dad wears and what it really means to "fill dad's shoes."
  • Invite fathers from children in the program to come and share a little about themselves and what they do for work. 
  • Set up a special breakfast or lunch and invite fathers to come eat with their children. A popular theme for this is Donuts with Dad.
  • If your program doesn't do meal service, consider creating breakfast to go bags with the kids in your program, have their child include a fun note to include. 
  • Set up your parent board with photos of fathers when they were a baby next to photos of their children as babies.
