Less than $5 Kindergarten Lesson (by date, latest first)

This 90-minute lesson plan introduces Grade 1–3 students to the meaning and history of Father’s Day through an engaging video, interactive discussion, and hands-on activities. Using the animated YouTube video “Father’s Day” students learn about the origins of the celebration, including stories of Sonora Dodd and Grace Golden Clayton.

The lesson begins with a warm-up discussion, followed by a video viewing and guided comprehension questions. Students then complete a colorful worksheet with true/false questions, matching activities, a crossword, a wordsearch, and a drawing task to reinforce understanding. The lesson concludes with a creative card-making activity where students design heartfelt Father’s Day cards and write short thank-you messages to their dads or caregivers.

This lesson encourages students to express gratitude, develop their listening and comprehension skills, and explore the importance of family relationships in a fun and meaningful way. All materials, including the worksheet and answer key, are provided to support easy implementation in the classroom.

This engaging Kindergarten lesson plan introduces young learners to the plant life cycle using a fun, interactive approach. Centered around the educational video “Plant Life Cycle” , the lesson spans 90 minutes and guides students through the key stages of plant growth: seed, sprout, seedling, and flower. With a mix of visuals, storytelling, hands-on activities, and movement, children will explore how plants grow and what they need—sunlight, water, soil, and air.

The lesson includes a lively group discussion, video viewing with guided explanations, and a simple story dramatization to reinforce comprehension. Students will then complete a colorful worksheet filled with matching, coloring, sequencing, and drawing tasks. A creative craft activity using paper plates helps them visualize the plant life cycle in a circular format, reinforcing the concept of growth and renewal.

By the end of the lesson, children will be able to identify and describe each stage in the plant life cycle. The included worksheet and answer key support independent learning and review. This lesson promotes curiosity, fine motor skills, and a love of nature in young learners.

Shoe tying Pete the Cat Rocking in My School Shoes Craft

Unleash creativity and motor skills with this engaging, multi-faceted craft activity inspired by Pete the Cat Rocking in My School Shoes!

This hands-on activity is designed to teach students how to lace and tie knots, focusing on the essential life skill of tying shoes. The lesson begins with a simple knot-tying practice on a fun template, allowing students to grasp the basics of knot formation. Once comfortable, students will progress to a shoe-lacing activity, where they can apply their new skills to lacing and tying shoes.

Creative Sewing Activity: After enjoying the beloved story, students can make Pete's shoes come to life by sewing yarn to create laces on their very own shoe templates. This hands-on project is perfect for developing fine motor skills while allowing students to engage with the story in a tactile way.

Colorful Collage Option: For those who prefer a different creative approach, students can color their shoe template and then add vibrant paper strips as laces. This option encourages artistic expression while letting students experiment with different textures and materials.

Guided reading in Kindergarten involves tailored small group reading teaching. It certainly isn't the entire group. The small groups are formed according to the reading abilities of the students. It is very distinct and adaptable. Students are able to enter and exit groups as necessary. Every group utilizes leveled books chosen to cater to their specific requirements.

Developing a guided reading lesson plan may appear overwhelming. Nevertheless, if you divide it into components concentrating on your students’ requirements, the methods you will demonstrate, and the text you will utilize, it becomes significantly easier to handle. Your lesson plans will encompass an objective outlining the strategies you'll teach, vocabulary work, an introduction to the book, the reading of the book, comprehension questions, and activities to follow the reading. If you prefer not to design your own, there are numerous lesson plan templates available for selection.

This comprehensive guided reading ebook includes a complete lesson plan along with activities and recommended answers for your kindergarten students.
