I’m glad you enjoyed it! I hope you have luck recreating the bird! 😊

I love how you connected the origami bird with your childhood flight and then ended up teaching the same thing to your students years later. It really shows how these simple hands-on skills can stick with you for decades. I also agree that 10 minutes with a group of excited kids probably isn’t nearly enough time for origami

The tip about letting the kid pick the topics is smart, ownership keeps them coming back to it!

I am absolutely obsessed with how much effort you put into this. Are you planning to go just as big for the summer games?

It has been a while since I’ve had a four year old, so I’m having trouble remembering that exact age range! What I would probably do though is first just look at the pictures and talk about them with your kids to get them familiar with the images. Then you can mix up the labels and pictures and have the kids try to match them. If your child is not reading yet, you may have to help them with what each label card says. Lastly, you can play a two player memory style matching game where you lay them upside down and then take turns flipping pairs trying to get a match. To do that, you might need to print them on cardstock so that the image doesn’t show through!

Do you have any tips for introducing these activities to a busy 4-year-old?

My daughter struggles with rote memorization, so hands-on interactive activities like this make a real difference. Printing these out this weekend to try with her.

Personally, I don’t believe in penalizing kids when they feel stuck and need help. I think we should just help them because the goal is more knowledge and skills, not to perform on a test. If they know that we really care about is them understanding and not evaluating them, I think they will be more open to our guidance and know that we are on their side.
