Early Years Educator Business Assessment

Question: Describe about the Early Years Educator for Business Assessment. Answer: Activity Pick a boo: This is a type of game that is most of the time played by the young infants. To carry out this activity, one of the nursery classrooms will have to cover his or her face then uncovers the face again in front of the children and says peekaboo! Or where is the baby? Age group 0 to 1 year 11 months Number of children 6 children Facility used A classroom facility Staff needed 4 staff trainers MaterialsEquipment Some toys that be used in the peekaboo game. Child development Outcomes The Peekaboo game will stimulate the sense of the children, build their gross motor skills, strengthen their visual tracking ability, encourage their social development and the most important of all, the game will tickle their sense of humor. The game will also teach the children about object permanence; a notion that even though they cannot see something for example the smiles of their nursery school teacher, in real sense it still exists. Safety precautions We should not use objects that may cause some danger to the children. The classroom where the activity is done should be clean before the play is started. The teacher should keenly observe the children so that they do not disturb each other. Preparation needed Planning Time required: 11am to 12pm Preparation of the classroom where the activity is going to take place by making it clean enough for the safety of children because the toddlers like picking things from the floor. Bringing in the required baby dolls for the game. Implementing activity I will play the peekaboo by covering my face using my hands. The toddlers are always fascinated whenever they look at faces. They love looking at someones face more than anything else in the world. I would also try some other variations like hiding the childrens favorite toy somewhere in the classroom like a cupboard and then have them to find it for them to reveal it in a flourish way. When they manage to get it, I will reward them with a bigger peekaboo and many more smiles. Reflecting The 6 Children enjoyed the peekaboo play. Some children had different difficulty when they were looking for the toy that I had hidden in the cupboard. However, the peekaboo play enhanced the thinking capacity of the children. From my observation, many of them enjoyed playing the game very much. Recommendation It is important for the teachers to be encouraged to play the peekaboo game with their children to enhance their sense of humor and also their thinking capacity. It will enable the children to develop fully. The teachers should develop more different games that engage the brains of the young ones. Bibliography Simpson, M. (2010).
