Summer theme - ideas and tips

• Parasol, swimming pool, ice cream, suntan lotion, sun - these are typical associations that one associates with summer. At the beginning of the topic, sit in a circle of chairs with the children and ask the children what they can think of about summer.
• Use nature for the "summer" theme. Look at flowers and plants together. Collect fresh material from nature to beautify the group rooms or to do handicrafts together. In addition to flowers, this can also be twigs, grasses, leaves, stones or all sorts of other things.
• Give the children the opportunity to describe or paint the sun, the green grass or the blue sky. Take a painting action outside.
• Select songs in the singing circle that fit the theme of summer.
• Discuss with the children what to watch out for in summer: You mustn't stay in the sun too long, you always have to put on good lotion and wear a hat, etc.

Don't forget to put a sun in your group rooms, because what would summer be without the sun!
