Parent Resources for Learning > Core Skills > 7 Fun And Easy Learning Activities For 5-Year-Olds

7 Fun And Easy Learning Activities For 5-Year-Olds

by Dr. Jody LeVos | May 18, 2021 | Core Skills

Learning activities play an important role in early childhood development. However, when parents come across this information, they often assume they need to create the most elaborate games to help maximize learning. That’s not the case.

For example, simple games and activities such as painting or playing house help develop language and emotional skills, creativity, and fine motor skills, among other things.

Also, when children engage in physical activities such as running, jumping, or skipping, it contributes to their gross motor development.

In addition, if an activity is challenging (think tricky puzzles or building a tall lego tower), it helps children learn how to follow through on a project and problem-solve. Ultimately, this helps build confidence and gives children a sense of ownership and accomplishment.

Learning activities for 5-year-olds are also great to help beat boredom. A child who has nothing to do for the day can often become irritable or display disruptive behavior. That’s not ideal for them (or you!), so it’s important to have some go-to activities at the ready.

Finding the right activities for your child is one way you can foster their continued growth and development. So where do you start?

Questions To Ask Before Choosing Activities

Mom doing activities for 5 year olds

Now that you understand the importance of activities for 5-year-olds, here are a few questions to ask yourself to ensure you’re choosing the right ones for your child.

What Will My Child Learn From This Activity?

There are many developmental milestones that are essential for your child to reach — from physical to mental, emotional, and social.

This is why it’s important to incorporate a variety of activities into your child’s play, rather than choosing similar games that help develop the same skills.

Are The Instructions Easy To Understand?

As children get older, the activities and games we introduce them to will naturally become more complex.

While it’s beneficial to keep challenging our children so they learn to think creatively and problem-solve, it’s equally important to not overwhelm them with games that are simply too complicated for their age group.

Will The Activity Engage My Child’s Senses?

From the moment they are born, our children are seeing, touching, tasting, hearing, and smelling the world around them.

Children use their senses to explore and understand things, so we encourage sensory play in early childhood because it plays a significant role in developing many essential language and cognitive development skills. It also helps children continue exploring and engaging.

7 Fun Activities For 5-year-olds

1) letter toss.

Letter toss set up for activities for 5 year olds

What You’ll Need:

  • Rolled-up sock or small beanbag

What To Do:

We love letter toss because it only requires about 10 minutes of set-up time, making it the perfect game to incorporate when you’ve had a busy day or week.

Start by writing uppercase and lowercase letters on individual Post-its (one per page). Then stick the Post-its onto the floor or playroom wall, making sure that there’s space between each one.

Next, have your child stand a few feet away and toss the rolled-up sock at the Post-it notes as you call them out.

You can also pick letters in a word and arrange them in random order. In this version, your child will need to hit the letters in their correct order to spell the word. (You can write the word on a piece of paper for them to have a reference if needed.)

This is a fun and engaging activity to help children practice their alphabet and spelling. All the aiming and throwing is also a great way to help them continue developing their gross motor skills.

2) Cupcake Tin Counting Game

Two kids baking in bakers hats and aprons

  • Cupcake tin
  • Cupcake liners
  • A snack with small pieces (e.g., cereal, puffs, blueberries, etc.)

In a nutshell, this activity involves having your child fill each numbered cupcake liner with the corresponding number of snack pieces. For more information on how to play cupcake tin counting, you can check out this link .

This simple activity is excellent for helping children develop their understanding of counting principles (and is a fun way to enjoy some delicious treats at the end!).

3) Create A Storytelling Map

Kids doing activities for 5 year olds

  • A huge piece of craft or butcher paper

The aim of this activity is simple: Create a giant storytelling map using a marker, crayons, and craft or butcher paper. (You can even take this activity outside and use your backyard layout as a guide for the map.)

Encourage your child to use their creativity and come up with their own ideas for this invented world. The map might lead to a magic castle, a haunted house, or even a mystical forest. Let their imagination run wild!

If you have multiple children, this is an excellent game for sibling or all-family play. And if you do take the activity outside, there’s the added benefit of sunshine and fresh air.

4) Draw To Music

What You’ll Need:

  • Markers, crayons, colored pencils, watercolor paints, etc.
  • Classical music playing in the background

Music — you listen to it, of course, but have you considered making drawings to match what you hear?

This is a simple but wonderful activity for many children. All you need is drawing and painting materials and, of course, music.

As the music plays in the background, encourage your child to draw or paint anything they want. To help them get started, you can ask questions like, “How does the music make you feel? What does it remind you of?”

This is one of those activities where the journey is much more important than the destination. It really doesn’t matter if the colors they choose clash or the lines are too harsh. We’re not talking about creating a Picasso here but, rather, engaging the senses with this experience.

Treat this activity as a great sensory (auditory and visual) learning opportunity that your child can enjoy for some uninterrupted quiet time.

5) HOMER Character Cut-Outs

Homer character cut outs for Activities For 5 Year Olds

  • This printable from HOMER
  • Crayons or markers
  • Cardboard or cardstock
  • Popsicle sticks (optional)

Start this activity by encouraging your child to color the characters. Once they’ve colored them how they’d like, have them cut the characters’ shapes out. Next, help your child glue the characters onto cardboard or cardstock.

Voila! It’s time to play!

This is a great way to encourage imaginative play, as your child can bring the characters to life (and even create a play). This really helps encourage creativity!

For some inspiration, check out this link .

6) Create A Rainbow Suncatcher

Little girl painting at easel in school.

  • Colored gift tissue paper
  • Cotton balls
  • Clear-drying school glue

Begin with cutting the colored tissue paper into squares. Then make the rainbow shape by drawing six lines on the wax paper with your glue.

Next, encourage your child to glue down the tissue paper onto each line in rainbow color order (you can hand your child a picture of the rainbow as a guide). Lastly, add cotton balls below the rainbow to represent clouds.

This is a great activity to teach your child the colors of the rainbow and to continue developing their fine motor skills.

7) Make An Ocean

  • Medium bin or deep tray
  • Dried pasta for coral
  • Scoops of cups for playing in the water
  • Ocean creature toys and loose parts like pebbles, shells, and starfish
  • Blue food coloring (optional)

For detailed instructions on creating your very own ocean, check out this link to our Ocean Sensory Bin.

After finishing the creation with your child, encourage them to touch and feel all the interesting ocean creatures. This is a great sensory activity to help children explore and investigate some of the amazing fish found in our seas.

Have Fun At Home With Activities For 5-Year-Olds

You also don’t have to bend over backward trying to get them the latest toys. There’s so much joy and learning that can come from using everyday household items.

3. Memory games

  • Play ‘Kim’s game’. Put a few items on a tray (for example, a crayon, an apple, a building brick, a toy car). Then look, cover, remember and check!
  • Talk about, photograph or write out some ‘events’ from something you have done together – can your child remember the correct order?
  • Go shopping – try to remember the list together!

4. Listening games

  • Play games such as ‘Simon says’ – party games are often good ways to practice speaking, listening, and memory skills, without them even noticing!
  • Listen to music and talk about the instruments being played – find pictures on the internet together.

5. Action games

  • Make a puppet theatre with cardboard boxes or a towel over a chair and encourage your child to make up or retell a story to you (or any willing family members!).
  • Have lots of fun dressing up with clothes and props at home so that your child can dress up as a character and act out favourite stories. You can find lots of cheap props and clothes for dressing up in charity shops.
  • Play games such as ‘What’s the time Mr Wolf?’, but write the times down for them to read instead of saying them.

6. Tactile games

  • Use magnetic letters to spell names and simple words on the fridge or radiator.
  • Use modelling clay to make your child’s name or simple words like mum.
  • Enjoy jigsaws together and chat about finding the right pieces!

7. Screen games

  • Watch TV programmes linked to books and then read the books afterwards.  Little Princess , Katie Morag , and   Charlie and Lola are good places to start. Talk about what they like or don’t like about the characters.
  • Find story-telling sites like   Little Kingdom , story-telling TV programmes, or story apps for your phone.

8. Car journey games

  • Play ‘The cook’s cat is an amazing cat/beautiful cat/clever cat/daft cat … ‘ and so on, and then make up your own versions (for example, ‘The doctor’s dog … ‘).
  • Play this noisy version of the car game, ‘Who can spot … ?’. It’s great fun – but check out with the driver first before you start this one! Decide on a noise, or a word to call, when you spot the things you’re looking out for. For example, ‘Bang!’ for a yellow car, ‘Buzzz!’ for a bus, and ‘Wow!’ for a bird.
  • Listen to an audiobook.

9. Out and about activities

  • Ask your child to find the things you need to buy when out shopping by reading the labels on products together.
  • Check out your local library or community centre to find out what special activities or clubs are running.
  • Try to do a few visits or find some information together to link with the topic or project work at school.

10. Reading books of all kinds together

  • Carry on reading books of all kinds to and with your child: picture, pop up, information, poetry, eBooks, print books … and the levelled books brought home from school. Video or record your child reading them for fun!
  • Why not  choose a book from our free eBook library   to share on-screen together?

25 Engaging Activities For 5-Year-Olds

November 16, 2022 //  by  Michelle Mandel

When I think about five-year-olds, I think about the world of imagination and endlessly learning possibilities- where the impossible is possible, and there are no limits and boundaries. Five-year-olds are eager to learn, help, and do. They are on the go from morning till night, so they need plenty of short activities to keep them entertained. We’ve compiled a list of 25 engaging activities, so dive right in and remember to have fun!

1. Play With Your Food

Kids are always told, “Don’t play with your food.” Well, in this activity, we are going to do just that! Ever heard of Rainbow Toast?  Children will have edible paint and some toast and can let their imaginations go wild as they paint a rainbow. Afterward, they can enjoy an edible treat!

2. Cookie Merger

Hundreds of years ago, Othello was first played with black and white stones in Japan. The game’s object is to enclose the opposite color so it can be flipped over. This time we are using black and white sandwich cookies in a fast-paced game with a twist.

3. Got Cups?

Plastic cups can be so much fun if you know what to do with them. Cup activities go far beyond just stacking them up. From bowling, ping pong, sorting, or drawing, plastic cup activities win hands down. Kids have big red plastic cups and small squares of construction paper, and the aim is to try and build the tallest tower.

4. Egg Carton Planting

Little ones like the experience and idea of gardening, but many do not like all the hassle it entails. Children can have lots of fun in the classroom with egg carton plants. They can simply fill a carton with soil, plant the seed, water it, and watch it grow.

5. Ants Go Marching

Ants are so interesting to learn about, and with this fantastic craft, children can make their own red and black ants out of spoons! Connect assorted spoons and paint them red or black. Glue on some googly eyes and pipe cleaner legs, and your ants are ready for marching!

6. Junk In Your Trunk

This game takes a little bit of investment, but it is well worth it. All you need is some tissue boxes, ping pong balls, and a few other odds and ends. The game’s objective is to get all the balls out of the tissue box as fast as possible. Shake, jiggle and move to get your “junk out of your trunk.”

7. Shhh, It’s Quiet Time

Children need downtime, and to create the best chill time for your kindergartener, you need to create the right atmosphere. Healthy music, low lights or soft lighting, crayons and paper, soft toys, and comfortable seating do wonder!

8. Bean Bag Fun 

Bean bags are so easy to make, and they are essential in child development. Practice the art of balancing by getting your little ones to balance bean bags on different body parts. There are so many games that can be played with bean bags; whether it’s a tossing or spatial activity, your learners are sure to have a good time!

9. Inventive Activity Cards 

Five-year-olds are full of imagination, and we have to help nurture their literary skills and public speaking. One great idea to help you do this is picture cards that can be bought or made. Children lay a few of the cards on the table and then tell us a simple story step by step.

This is one of the simple activities for 5-year-olds at home that can be done with the easily available material.

3. Squeeze Paint

Kids love this activity as it is a lot of fun and they can let their imagination run wild.

How to Make?

4. Art with Seeds and Grains

This activity is fun to do for kids and can keep them engaged for hours.

Draw the shape of a flower or an animal like a dinosaur, duck or dog on a sheet of paper. Spread glue inside the shape and ask your child to fill it with seeds and grains to make the picture beautiful. You can use bird seeds, toor dal, masoor dal, moong dal, chana dal etc. to fill the picture.

Kids develop better hand-eye coordination when they pick up little seeds and glue them onto paper.

5. Parts of a Plant Craft

This is a simple craft idea that is also a learning activity.

Here are some activities that boost the development of your child’s fine and gross motor skills:

What Does it Teach

This activity makes kids use all the muscles of their body, thus helping them gross and fine motor skills.

This helps kids develop both fine and gross motor skills.

It also teaches them about nature and plants.

5. Bubble Art Using Straws

This is an activity that 5-year-olds find immensely enjoyable as they love blowing bubbles!

Fill several cups with mild soap solution and add drops of different food colour to it to make colourful liquid soap. Let your child blow bubbles into the cup with a straw. Make sure the child does not sip or swallow the soap solution. When the bubbles rise to the surface of the cup, place a white card over them. As the bubbles burst, they leave a colourful imprint on the card, making beautiful patterns.

This helps kids use the muscles of their hands, fingers and lips, thus helping them develop fine motor skills.

Build On, Gear Up, and Test for Mastery of Common Core Subjects

With Turtle Diary, we’ve done the hard work for you. Common Core Standards used in their classrooms will be reinforced with our games, lessons, and quizzes.

All of the fun we offer on our site is aligned with the newer vision of mathematics and other subjects. By sticking with Turtle Diary, you can let us handle the hard work of explaining Common Core. Sometimes this method may seem foreign to you if you’ve learned with “old math.” In fact, you might just learn along with your student!

Students have the necessary skills to be able to compete in a competitive world with an increased focus on STEM. Cognitive demand reigns higher than rote learning, and students are able to quickly visualize and manipulate numbers. They can “see” the inner workings of the problems, especially in math, and learn to mentally work the numbers.

Turtle Diary helps students to learn and practice these concepts, especially if they aren’t quite grasping it in the classroom. You’ll be amazed at how quickly your student picks up the new concepts. Just remember that they’ve never learned it the “old” way. The Common Core way is THE way for their learning journey.

Even though there may seem to be an overwhelming amount of games, the idea is to give students the choice. All of the games in a grade level reinforce the same necessary concepts, but just in a different way. Students will be practicing the same ideas over and over again as they choose from one fun game to another. We dare them to be bored!

Educational Crafts

Crafts are a great way to teach kids without them even knowing they are learning. It also creates a great hands on experience so they actually remember what they learn, and it doesn’t have to be super hard to put together.

I have a variety of crafts and ideas that you can use for education and learning. They come in all different sizes and subjects. I love teaching my kids through crafts and watching them learn. These are great crafts to do and have before your little one enters kindergarten and during preschool!

13 Educational Crafts for 5 year old’s

There are so many fun things you can do with science, almost everything is science. Here are 9 science projects that you can do with items that you already have in your house. Some of these include: Skittles experiment , rainbow experiment , and raindrops experiment. These are perfect for kids starting to learn science and seeing how cool it is!

Another great and fun science experiment is a balloon rocket. These could entertain my kids for hours.

Learning Math and Numbers

One great way to learn math is by creating a homemade Grocery Store. This activity requires a little more prep work, but it is great for learning money, addition, subtraction, and life skills. My kids played this for hours, and kids smaller than 5 enjoy this as well, even if they don’t get the math! I have a worksheet for this activity which includes fake money!

Teach your kids how to count with this Painting Caterpillar , it also helps with learning colors. It’s a simple painting activity that only uses your fingers. You can download my template for them as well.

Finger Paint Caterpillars-min

Another great counting activity is Marshmallow Numbers. You can use my FREE templates, or make your own. You don’t have to use marshmallows, you can use anything small like peanuts, raisins, or M&Ms. It’s also a treat! If your 5 year old is already well acquainted with numbers, you could do the higher numbers, or start adding small numbers.

Learning Letters and the Alphabet 

Alphabet learning blocks   not only teach you letters, but they teach you phonics. Learn what words start with what letters, with pictures to help. This is also a great cutting and gluing activity!

Phonics Building Blocks (2)-min

Canvas Letters are a great craft that can easily be displayed after you’re done. Buy a nice little canvas for your little one to paint. If you put tape on it and then paint, you can make different letters. We like to do the first letter of our name so you can hang them in your room.

Color by letters is a fun coloring or painting activity to help kids learn letters. It’s like a color by number, but they have to find the right letters instead. I have a fun template you can download. 

Numbers, Letters, and Everything in Between

Q-tip painting is a fun painting activity that is easier for clean up and makes things a little more creative. This activity can be done with shapes, numbers, letters, counting, and designs.

Q-Tip Painting Printable

Get messy with this Shaving cream activity. It’s super easy to prep this activity, and can be pretty well contained. The kids have so much fun. Let them be creative, but you could also tell them to do certain letters, numbers, shapes, math problems, alphabet, or anything they might be learning!

If your 5 year old loves cars, they will love Toddler Car Art. It certainly is an interesting way to paint. This is great for numbers or letters. You can make a letter or number on a piece of paper and have them trace it with paint and a car.

Painting with toy cars (1)

Sidewalk Chalk   is another creative way to learn. Go outside and write the alphabet on the sidewalk, or do numbers or a math problem.

As a bonus I wanted to add that a great educational tool for 5 year old’s that I love is Epic . It’s a reading and books website! If you wanted to get ahead on reading, you could check it out. Here is my review on it.

KinderCare Kindergarten

(5-6 years old)

Their futures are looking bright! With us, they’ll be more than prepared for school.

Welcome to kindergarten: the gateway to grade school and everything that comes next! Offered in select centers, our kindergarten programs have small class sizes and curriculums that mix learning and fun. 

Health and Safety

We build warm, welcoming, and supportive classrooms for children of all abilities, backgrounds, and experiences.

About KinderCare kindergarten

In select centers, we offer transitional kindergarten for kids who missed the cutoff date and full-day kindergarten for kids who are ready for the next big step.

Your kindergartener’s classroom will follow a daily rhythm , including group activities, time to play outside, and more!

KinderCare

Transitional Kindergarten

If your child finished pre-K but missed the kindergarten cutoff date, transitional kindergarten is a great stepping stone to big-kid school. Our project-based learning emphasizes critical thinking, communication, and creativity. Kids take lead roles on projects and complete them in small groups.

Kindergarten

In some of our centers, we offer full-day kindergarten programs. Our kindergarten classrooms provide an academically rich curriculum, before- and after-school care, and family-teacher conferences that help make sure your child is super-duper ready for first grade and beyond.

Daily Sample Schedule

Explore the kindergarten classroom

Take a look at how we set up our classroom for kindergartners. It’s organized for their age and stage of learning and development.

KinderCare

Individual attention

Both of our kindergarten programs offer small class sizes. This helps teachers adapt to each child’s learning style and keep track of their progress with regular assessments and family-teacher conferences.

Academic curriculum

The basic building blocks of reading, writing, math, and science are key in kindergarten, so we make sure they get lots of practice in all of these areas. Our curriculum is rich in science and math concepts that help inspire children’s natural curiosity!

Project-based learning

We take our child-led approach one step further in kindergarten. Working as a team, kids think creatively and critically to solve problems. This approach helps them develop collaboration and communication skills they’ll need in grade school.

Kindergarten classroom activities

Every day, our creative teachers guide kindergartners through fun activities that are just right for their age. Here are just a few examples!

Mystery Picture

“Is that a square or a circle?” Kids pull a paper shape from a shoebox, identify the shape out loud, glue it to butcher paper, and pass the box to the next person. Each shape has to touch a shape already on the paper!

Popcorn Words

Kids learn to read by exploring some of the 100 most frequently used words in books. These are called popcorn words and they include “and,” “a,” and “the.” The best part? We’ll use real-life popcorn to learn!

Water Cycle

Cloudy with a chance of STEM skills! Kids discover how clouds hold moisture using dry and wet cotton balls, conduct experiments to learn about evaporation and condensation, and make cloud and rain art.

How to enroll

We’ve gathered all the resources you need to help you make a confident decision to join the KinderCare family.

The 13 Best Educational Toys For 1-Year-Olds

A baby’s first year is full of growth and learning. They are witnessing the world around them and learning everything. Experts agree that narrating daily activities helps babies learn about language and become familiar with common sounds like their mother’s voice. At one year old, babies start to say words, and most are going from crawling and scooting to walking. It’s an exciting time for parents, and a way parents can help their babies grow and learn is by giving them educational toys to help them develop. We have compiled the best educational toys for one-year-olds to help parents find amazing toys for their one-year-olds.

What Makes a Toy Educational?

Educational toys are toys that provide entertainment and engage kids while teaching something. They can teach the letters and numbers or motor and sensory skills. Kids are always learning, and exposing them to educational toys helps them learn, understand, and interact with the world around them.

Child Development Milestones for 1-Year-Olds

Developmental milestones for children are a guide to help parents, but every child develops differently. By the time a child reaches one year, they should be able to do certain things like:

  • Wave bye bye
  • Say mama and dada or equivalent
  • Drink from a cup.
  • Hold something between their pointer and thumb.
  • Stack blocks.
  • Recognize music and dance.

Best Educational Toys for 1-Year-Olds

These toys provide a stimulus for a one-year-old and are created to help them learn and reach important milestones. Milestones are general markers of age-appropriate abilities, and parents should use them as a guide. If parents are concerned that their child is not reaching milestones, it is essential to speak with their pediatrician.
