Everyone loves to have friends and as we get older we start to realize that actually, it is quite difficult. Being socially active, networking, making new contacts, meeting new people can be an overwhelming task but it is an important one. Networking is something that opens us to new opportunities and hence, social skills are a must for everyone. These social skills cannot be developed overnight. It requires time and practice. Research indicates that a huge part of academic success in the first few years of school is fully dependent on the social and emotional development of a child. To improve the social skills of children, they go through many activities in school or even before that. Here are a few social development activities for preschoolers. “Playing is a primary way for children to receive and process information.” Keeping this in mind, games that rely on, introduce, and model social concepts can really help toddlers or preschoolers to develop social skills. Here are a few games that can help children to be interactive and confident and emotionally present. 1. Ball Games: These kinds of games are relatively simple to play and follow through. Cooperatively rolling a ball back and forth is a way of initiating play and turn-taking. Older children can try playing the ball games by calling out the player’s name before throwing a ball at him. This game can be fun when played in groups and it can also help practicing initial play verbally. 2. My Turn: This game is played between a parent and a child. Take an object, give it to your child, and to receive it say, ‘My turn please’ with your hand reached out in front. After the child gives you the object, say “thank you”. And then, tell them to try the same process with you. This will need practice but it can teach children to be polite and to say ‘please’ and “thank you” and not only that, but it also promotes ‘sharing’ in a child’s mind with the help of this activity. 3. Role Plays: Who doesn’t love roleplays? Children often enjoy acting out what they know like cooking or cleaning or scribbling on pages, etc. Roleplay enhances their imagination and creative side considering the fact that they also start to imagine acting like a cop or a superhero as a form of enjoyment. Roleplay is a great way for children to experience social behaviors, expectations, and rules. Mostly, many children tend to play ‘home’ where they act like an actual family with their friends, this develops their social skills without any effort. 4. Listening Course: This game is mostly advised to be played at home with parents. Here the parent will need materials like pillows, hula hoops, and other toys items to create an obstacle course. Now, after creating the obstacle course, the child will be on one side and the parent will be on the other. The child will need to listen to the parent's instructions to get to the other side and win the obstacle course. For example, a parent can say to his or her child, “Jump in the hula hoop then walk towards the green toy, pick it up and turn towards the blue pillow.” This not only is an interesting and entertaining game but it also helps in developing one of the main skills in overall social development i.e. listening skills. 5. Sports: A healthy lifestyle is a necessity for both kids and adults. Playing outdoor sports will not only encourage an active lifestyle but will also provide excellent opportunities for both social and emotional development. Playing in teams is always a challenge. It requires you to adjust and understand and listen to others’ opinions. It makes children understand that their actions will have an impact on the whole team and its progress. Dealing with competitiveness and constant pressure helps children to develop resilience and learn how to manage their emotions, behavior. All in all, sports can help improve social skills considering the child will be with his or her teammates most of the time. Social Development is not just one skill, it is a combination of skills like communication, listening, leadership, networking, and many more. A personality development course is a priority for children because this course will help in developing overall personality including social, emotional development. Personality development for kids helps them to be confident and have an optimistic view from the start. It also helps kids to realize what they are passionate about at a very young age.
Given above were a few social development activities for preschoolers which will help them develop and improve their social skills and build up their confidence. It is important to realize that all these skills will come to the kids at the right age but these activities will help those skills with no difficulties whatsoever.
