This collection of learning activities, appropriate for preschool and kindergarten children, is the second volume of a 2-volume manual which describes a diagnostic method of teaching young children. The activities are organized according to program areas. A description of each activity includes information on its uses, materials needed, and final comments and cautions. Chapter 12, the first chapter in this volume, focuses on large motor and outdoor activities including sand, water and block play. Chapter 13 describes activities using art materials for developing the child's creativity. Activities incorporating paints, playdough, crayons, climbing equipment, books and songs are discussed. Chapters 14 to 19 deal with activities in the following areas: small motor and perceptual motor; language; science; social science; cooking and food preparation; and music. Chapter 20 presents miscellaneous activities which include use of bulletin boards, an exploring table, and photography. The appendix includes all recording forms suggested for use and discussed in Volume I: face sheet, needs and plans sheets, language checklist, social-emotional checklist, and permission forms (medical, field trips, photo).
