Preschool Small-Group Activity Preparation and Participation Checklist

This printable checklist helps preschool teachers plan a small-group learning activity and support each child’s participation. Use the before-activity checks to prepare a child-friendly learning goal, safe materials, an accessible space, and flexible ways to join in; during the activity, use it as a quick participation reminder. Afterward, record observations and next steps, then use the reflection to guide adjustments without comparing children. The cover presents a reusable activity-details area for the goal, date, and group or station.
