Games teachers play :-)

One of the fun parts of being a teacher is getting to play a lot of fun games. I’m the type of teacher who enjoys getting down and dirty with her kids, especially the preschoolers. In the college level, we use toys like play dough and pattern blocks, too, but we’re not as rowdy as the little ones. I am a firm believer that even at any age, toys and games are great ways means of learning. An added bonus is that these games are also helpful in getting you moving. I remember that when I stopped teaching preschool before, I gained a lot of weight because I stopped running around and being active. One thing I missed a whole lot was doing the hula-hoop with the kids. Believe it or not, it was an effective stomach weight loss program! In fact, even if I was still somewhat chubby, I had a pretty flat gut. That just goes to show that toys aren’t just for kids!
