June Theme: The Places You'll Go
June Theme: The Places You'll Go
What a thrilling world beyond the classroom! The Places You’ll Go learning kit takes little explorers on magical journeys — both real and make-believe, with fun adventure and travel themed activities for preschoolers. From discovering joyful spring and summer celebrations around the world to diving into fairy tales full of wonder and "what ifs," every adventure ignites imaginations and sparks curiosity.
This curriculum is full of imagination activities for preschoolers. Hands-on STEM activities make learning exciting, while enchanting stories help build big-hearted social skills—all through play that meets kids right where they are.
Across this kit’s four weeks’ worth of lessons, students:
- Zoom toy cars around a chalk racetrack and discuss how wheels make things go.
- Put on a puppet show about big feelings like jealousy and frustration, then act out ways to feel better.
- Build tiny sailboats from paper and clay, then test them in water bins to see how wind, waves, and boat size make a difference.
- Make tiny tents from toothpicks, marshmallows, and tissue to set up camp for critter friends, then chat about all the fun to be had on outdoor adventures.
And more!

Logic & Reasoning
Map Memory Game
Maps help us dream up grand adventures. Using a simple map and tiny landmark figurines, little explorers work together to uncover the map’s special features. Then—uhoh!—the landmarks disappear. Can teams remember where each one belongs? This playful challenge builds memory, teamwork, and conversation skills while helping kids understand how places fit together to create communities, cities, and even the whole world.
Centers/Stations: Science
Creativity
Character Creation Station
Let imaginations soar! Little storytellers create their own fairy-tale characters using play dough and crafty materials, then bring them to life through magical, made-up adventures. A corresponding Learning Lab card adds an extra challenge—can students find matching pairs of puppets? This playful activity builds creativity, attention to detail, and storytelling skills as children dream up new worlds.
Weekly Family Newsletter for At-home Connections
The weekly Family Newsletter is an excellent way to engage families and – psst – show off all the excellent learning at your school!
Just some of the activity ideas that little ones and families love in the Jurassic Journey Family Newsletter (one of the four included in the kit):
Families, get ready for takeoff! With a water bottle, construction paper, and glue, caregivers and kids craft their very own airplane. As they build together, caregivers can lead a conversation about different ways to travel—encouraging little ones to recall what they learned the week before. Want to keep the fun going? Head outside for a silly round of balloon golf, where giggles and movement go hand in hand.
Plus, this month’s Family Newsletter’s QR code takes families to all kinds of ideas to turn every road trip—no matter how short—into an adventure full of learning and discovery.
