I would use the Where is my Home? activity. As I currently teach Junior Infants I would be covering the topic of Houses and Homes as one of the play based learning activities. I would use this for station teaching. Normally, I have one oral language station with different images of different types of houses and homes and the children discuss these and talk about them. I would have another station where I would get the children to design and draw their dream house. This is a great activity and great fun. The children come up with great ideas with toy shops and swimming pools etc all forming part of their dream home. I would have a second oral language station which might include a game of bingo or a game of headbands of items that you would find in the houses and homes. The final station then would be construction and STEM related whereby the children build their houses and homes. Following from this module I might adapt this station to allow the children to create models of the houses and homes using modelling clay as this way they could be displayed in the classroom for awhile and then the children would later get to take them home.
