β½ Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide
Children are naturally drawn to sports and movement. Use these cards to validate their interests while building vocabulary. When children see a sport on TV or at the park, they'll have the language to identify itβ"That's a rugby ball!" This connection between learning and real life is powerful.
