Fine motor spring, rain cloud center. A rain cloud science experiment for hands-on learning. A short vowel book to reinforce letter formation and vowel sounds. Dominoes math provocation for number sense, addition and composing numbers. Unplugged coding activity for spring. Find fun, hands-on activities for your kindergarten classroom with this post filled with ideas and activities.

Spring is here (even though it snowed today!), and we have been learning all about spring showers and the science behind why it rains. Our students have had so much fun learning about the different kinds of clouds, and exploring the weather outside our classroom.

Here is a look back on what we did this week, and make sure you let me know what you have been doing in your classroom in the comments!

Rain Cloud Fine Motor

rain cloud fine motor center for kindergarten fine motor skill practice. A great, hands-on spring activity to go with a weather or cloud theme in kindergarten.

This super cute fine motor center was great for students to practice threading. They even practiced counting and adding with this fun activity.

Here is how we set it up: we used a clipboard with a blue piece of construction paper for the background, cut out a white cloud and taped it to the clip, have the clip hold down a blue shoelace. Students threaded the beads to make the rain drops.

Rain Cloud Science

A kindergarten science provocation to get students thinking about how rain clouds word. Do this experiment for hands-on learning about the water cycle, cloud formation, rain, rain clouds and the weather.

Students used a pipette to place drops of water on the baking sheet (we added blue food coloring to the water so you can see it better). Then, they absorbed the drops with a cotton ball.

Students were able to see how the clouds store water until they get so full that it rains. They LOVED this table, and returned to it over and over again.

Spring Unplugged Coding

Unplugged coding activity for kindergarten. Practice directional coding with this no-tech center that will help students their coding skills. Great spring activity, that will have students code the caterpillar to the butterfly.

We have been working on our directional coding skills with these fun Unplugged Coding activities these past few weeks. This set has students code the caterpillar to the butterfly, and they have to avoid the flowers. Our students are getting really good at solving the task cards!

Dominoes Number Line Provocation

Dominoes number line provocation for kindergarten math centers. Reinforce numbers, composing numbers, addition with this fun, hands-on math activity.

We practiced constructing a number line with this fun provocation. We challenged our students to build their own number lines using the dominoes.

It was a great way for them to think about how a number line is made, composing numbers, and adding! They did a great job, and worked together to make their number lines.

Vowel Books

My Vowel Book literacy activity for kindergarten. Reinforce vowel sounds and letter formation with this literacy activity for kindergarten.

Our students worked hard on learning all about the vowels, and at the end of the week, they made their own Vowel Books to show what they had learned.

Each page focuses on a different vowel and they must trace it, fill in a word with the missing vowel, and draw a picture of something with that vowel in it. They loved doing this, and it was a great way to show our families what we have been working on.

Vowel Geoboard Provocation

Vowel geoboard provocation. Students reinforce their fine motor skills to form vowels using the geoboard.

This center had students construct a vowel using geoboards. We did not give them any templates or instructions, they had to figure out how to make the letters on their own.

This was a great way to see their problem-solving skills, and worked on their fine motor muscles too!
