    All of these activity sets are filled with opportunities for meaningful and engaging learning experiences.

    One of the activity sets that could be used is the Planets Activity set. A sample activity I would use is for introducing young children to the names of the planets.

    I would begin by using one of the planets songs or reading a storybook to the children to introduce them to the names of the planets. We would then learn a little bit more about each planet. I would split the children into groups and assign each group with a planet. During playtime/Aistear/Art, the group will make a model of the planet using paper maché. If possible, we would then try and display the planets in some way, such as hanging them from the ceiling, to make a model of our solar system.

    As an extension activity, or during PE, we would play the planet game using hula hoops, as a consolidation task for our learning, and try to remember the names of our planets.
