Where’s My Shadow

1) Learning objectives: To develop children’s observation and imagination ability and encourages their divergent thinking.

2) Theoretical guidance: With the development of children's curiosity and exploration desire, they will be interested in shadow, the physical phenomenon in life, and will actively explore the conditions of shadowoccurrence and the different positions of the shadow at different time.

3) Creative learning: Based on children’s curiosity in shadows, the game “Where’s My Shadow” makes children conduct independent differentiation, comparison and inference to help animals find corresponding shadows, which not only suits children’s interest but also trains their observation and logical thinking ability.

4) Suggestions for parents: Shadows are everywhere in nature and closely related to life. Parents can explore the knowledge of shadows according to children’s interests. For example, compare the length and positions of shadows in the morning, noon and evening to win the perceptual experience of light and shadow. Children’s divergent thinking of shadows helps them to see the whole picture.
