Lesson Objectives

Domain: Cognitive
Goal: Children by the age of 2 years should be able to understand certain common concepts and
recognise basic symbols.
The lesson objectives are to develop the cognitive skills of the children in the early childhood
years:
 Signalling when finished using the toilet.
 Understand the difference between ‘I’ and others and use it appropriately.
 Search for hidden toys.
Children’s interests/prior Knowledge
In the previous lesson, the children are being provided an opportunity to improve their physical
skills by playing different games. The observations of the children playing and reacting to each
other’s actions should be used to prepare the procedure for achieving the objectives of this
lesson.

Resources
Small toys.

Description of Experience/Procedure
Objective 1: Signalling when finished using the toilet.
The teacher can show a signalling technique to the children and ask the children to mimic it when
they are done using the toilet.

Objective 2: Differentiating between ‘I’ and others.

The teacher should use different rhymes to make the children understand the usage of ‘I’ in their
sentences and the significance of the use of ‘I’. By using rhymes the teacher shall be able to catch
the attention of the children and retain them.

Objective 3: Search for hidden toys

The teacher can hide some especially significant toy of the children and ask them to search for it.
When the children begin to lose interest or they get distracted, the teacher can join them in their
quest.
Pedagogical Practices (Teaching Strategies)
Educator’s role
The teacher’s role in implementing this lesson is to teach the children different forms of signaling
by enacting them out in front of the students. Children at the age of 2 years are unable to think
logically hence mimicking becomes an important part of teaching them. The teacher should be
encouraging the children to search for the toys.

Open-ended Questions

What is the importance of cognitive development for children?

Evaluation of Experience

Assessment/documentation for children’s learning:

The teacher should be able to able to observe the following actions mentioned in the checklist
amongst the children:
 Signalling to go to the toilet and after they are done.
 Proper use of ‘I’ in their sentences.
  Put actions sequentially to find the hidden toys.

Achievement's narration:
The children should be able to understand and create their own signals to communicate with the
other children and parents/caregivers. Signalling would allow the elders to address their issues
directly and effectively.

LO5: Children are effective communicators

The development of the cognitive skills of the children will allow them to
communicate their feelings with the outside world. It shall also help improve
their capability to perceive different messages from the outside world. The
lesson of improving the cognitive skills of the children shall also help them in
differentiating their identity from others which enhances the information
they aim to share.

Future Planning
The children should move on to participate in group activities easily such as sing-a-longs and play
building games with other children which requires a level of cooperation amongst the children.

Pedagogical Practices (Teaching Strategies)

Educator’s role
The teacher should provide the children with live examples of different emotions and activities
which generally irritates children at that age to connect with them. The teacher should also
employ the same mimicking activity to promote the actions which they should in such situations
to help them better express their feelings.

Open-ended Questions
 How is emotional expression relevant to growth of children?

Evaluation of Experience

Assessment/documentation for children’s learning:

implementation of this lesson plan:
 Empathy towards others
 Understanding and pointing at things or people causing them anxiety.
 Running to parent/caregivers when afraid.

LO5: Children are effective communicators

Emotional needs of children are extremely important aspect which is

required to be addressed at an early age. Parents are not always able to
 understand the emotional state and the cause of their frustrations.
Therefore, developing the emotional skills of the children will help in building
their sense of having a separate individual sense of emotions. The children
shall learn to communicate their feelings from an early age which would
provide their parents and educators to guide them for better character
development in future.

Future Planning
The teacher should move on to help the children to identify the different spectrums of emotions
such as happy, sad, angry or bored. This would help them to identify the type of emotions they
are feeling and express accordingly.
