- Activity: Game “What’s Wrong?”
>> An excellent game of testing the children’s critical thinking
>> There’s a pair of cards with one that has something that is not correct & the children need to figure
“What’s Wrong?” with it
>> e.g. the elephant is missing its trunk; the car should not have square wheels … or the snake should not have
legs …
Finding and matching the correct piece …
Arranging them all very nicely & telling Teacher “What’s Wrong?” and what’s right …
Teacher is so happy to observe how the children are so curious
and figuring what’s right and wrong with every picture!
They were so engaged and they were so good with their reasoning skills ..
(some of them are barely three years old!!!)
