One creative way is to allow them to help pick out new play materials. Rotating materials is important and helps keep children engaged in play, not bored.

I think getting to know the child’s interests and preparing activities based off of that is very important to help the child keep engaged. For example, if you have a child interested in vehicles you can prepare all sorts of learning activities with vehicle props, like counting cars, lining them up, making patterns, building a garage, etc.

How to help children engage in meaningful ways:
For our healthy food unit we read books about healthy food, sang songs about healthy food and made graphs of healthy food. We brought in colorful salad ingredients and set up a small group table with cutting boards and table knifes. Two teachers sat with the children as they cut up the lettuce and various vegetables. We then served the salad family style. The kids loved making their own salad!

A way to creatively engage children in active and meaningful learning is to ask them questions about the activity at hand. This promotes a better understanding of different parts of the child’s world. It’s also important to provide a variety of activities that stimulate learning and exploration in a way that is developmentally appropriate for the age range you’re working with.

asking questions about environment, relationship, personal experiences, and current understanding

Kids could challenge each other with math problems, write poems, read books or draw. An adult could talk to kids through a puppet on their hand.

make the activities fun and creative , and make it where everyone can engage in it, like learning different animals let them paint or draw the animal by them only listening to what nose the animal makes.

One of the ways that you can get children engaged in what they are learning is by getting to know them better and incorporate their interests in what they are learning. For example, if you have a child who really likes dinosaurs, you could find a math game that practices counting to 5 with dinosaurs.

Ask them questions get to know them and what they like to do. Also tell them what a good job they are doing be what ever activity you choose and also make sure you are understanding and encouraging
