SUMMARY:
Circle Time, Group Time, Rug Time, Meeting Time, Gathering Time...any time that children come together for activities that include everyone. It's a special
time to share songs, fingerplays, rhythms, rhymes, movement games, creative activities, stories, or whatever else that a particular day may bring. Circle
Time provides for a listening time, a time to develop attention span, promote oral communication, and a time for learning new concepts and skills. It's a
time for auditory memory, sensory experiences, socialization, and a time for FUN! Circle Time can be a complex, dynamic interaction among adults, children
and resources used.
