GuestJune 11, 2024 at 4:14 pmI had a particular class that, when it was time to clean up toys after center time, would shove the toys away into any random bin or shelf that was closest to them. To help teach them and encourage them to put them where they belonged, I made a game of going around, like I was on a hunt, and would be very silly if I found dress up clothes in the fridge and say “What are clothes doing in the fridge? That’s so silly clothes don’t go in the fridge!” The kids thought it was hilarious and then they would come and put the clothes back where they belong.
