What activity ideas do you have for Golden Time in reception classes?
Q: I teach as part of a large Reception team. We have over 90 children across three classes. Obviously the children in Reception tend to "play" quite a lot anyway and we are struggling to think of ideas for Golden Time that will be a positive reward. Any ideas would really be appreciated.
Jenny:While I'm here I thought I'd tell you that there is a new book out called "Better Behaviour Through Golden Time" (available on our website) in it there is a chapter of ideas on how to run Golden Time for Early Years children. Basically, you could have a bit chart on your wall under the title Golden Time where you write all their favourite party games, songs, parachute games, music to dance to etc and then you put up on the wall when its time - "GOLDEN TIME" and whatever you do during this period before you take it down will appear golden to the younger ones!
Anyway, do borrow the book from your library if its too expensive, as there are lots of ideas to stop Golden Time from getting rusty.
