Labor Day Off

 

While some children might be excited about having a 3 day weekend, it is important to teach them why they won’t have school the first Monday in September.  Do they know what Labor Day is?  The last day to wear white clothing? A big sale at the store? The end of summer? While all of these are considered to be true, teach children about the hard workers who deserve a day off on this holiday that was created to celebrate them.

While outside with your children today, have them act out different laboring jobs.  If you have store fronts on your preschool playground, one child can pose as the mail carrier delivering everyone’s packages.  If you have an art easel, have some children sit for their portrait while another pretends to be an artist.  My favorite would be to have the children pretend to be construction workers in the truck pit!

The children are having fun and participating in some play based learning.  Happy Labor Day to all!

We strive to create fun and informative content that will help young children learn and grow. However, it's important to keep in mind that all activities should be performed under the supervision of an adult. The Adventurous Child website is intended to serve as a reference and guidance for educational activities, and it is ultimately the responsibility of the parent, guardian, and/or educator to determine the appropriateness of the activity for their child’s age and maturity level. Thank you for your understanding and support!
