The practical life activities use real-life things that teach the children how they should take care of their surroundings. This includes enabling children to clean their surroundings physically and appreciate their environment more deeply.

In other words, any activity a child learns to perform safely is known as Practical Life activity. These activities combine movement, concentration, sensory experiences, meaningful tasks, and fulfilling the challenges. Through these activities, a child develops and enhances his brain structure.

Some examples of practical life activities are:

Setting up the table

Watering and taking care of the plants

تستخدم أنشطة الحياة العملية أشياء من الحياة الواقعية تعلم الأطفال كيف ينبغي عليهم الاعتناء بمحيطهم. يتضمن ذلك تمكين الأطفال من تنظيف محيطهم جسديًا لتقدير بيئتهم على مستوى أعمق.

بمعنى آخر ، يُعرف أي نشاط يتعلمه الطفل لأداءه بأمان باسم نشاط الحياة العملية. تجمع هذه الأنشطة بين الحركة والتركيز والتجارب الحسية والمهام الهادفة والوفاء بالتحديات. من خلال هذه الأنشطة ، ينمو الطفل ويعزز بنية دماغه.

بعض الأمثلة على أنشطة الحياة العملية هي:

إعداد الجدول

سقي والاعتناء بالنباتات

The principle that works as the basis of practical life activities in the Montessori Method of teaching is a child's will to work on his own. An example of this child's behavior can be taken from Dr. Montessori's life when a child said to her.

"Help me do it myself."

Apart from practicing independence, a child is also interested in the routine activities performed by the adults, such as going shopping, cleaning the house, talking on the phone, preparing food, dressing up, and using tools. The child watches and tries to copy these actions. Although they cannot perform these activities alone, but manages to transform limitations into meaningful actions by doing these imitations.

المبدأ الذي يعمل كأساس لأنشطة الحياة العملية في طريقة تعليم مونتيسوري هو إرادة الطفل للعمل بمفرده. يمكن أخذ مثال على سلوك هذا الطفل من حياة الدكتورة مونتيسوري عندما قال لها طفل.

"ساعدني في القيام بذلك بنفسي."

بصرف النظر عن ممارسة الاستقلالية ، يهتم الطفل أيضًا بالأنشطة الروتينية التي يقوم بها الكبار ، مثل الذهاب للتسوق وتنظيف المنزل والتحدث على الهاتف وإعداد الطعام وارتداء الملابس واستخدام الأدوات. يشاهد الطفل ويحاول نسخ هذه التصرفات. على الرغم من أنه لا يمكن أداء هذه الأنشطة بمفردها ، إلا أنه تمكن من تحويل القيود إلى أفعال ذات مغزى من خلال القيام بهذه المحاكاة.

Encouraging and allowing children to practice independence is among the essential principles, and teaching children practical life activities is one of the most significant sources. These activities are indeed helpful in shaping a child into a confident and capable person.

يعتبر تشجيع الأطفال والسماح لهم بممارسة الاستقلال من بين المبادئ الأساسية ، ويعد تعليم الأطفال أنشطة الحياة العملية أحد أهم مصادر ذلك. هذه الأنشطة مفيدة حقًا في تشكيل الطفل ليصبح شخصًا واثقًا وقادرًا.

Math is the subject of learning concepts like organization, quantities, numbers, and space. Its importance cannot be ignored at all because the principles of mathematics back everything in our world. When the children are introduced to math at the Apple Tree level with the help of tools and toys, they will develop a basic understanding and importance of the subject.

Math is one of the best ways to provide children with a visual and tactile approach to the subject of arithmetic. When children are presented with a visual and tactile representation of numbers, they are heavily involved in observing and playing with them. By allowing them access to specially designed mathematical tools and toys, children can efficiently work out addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication problems.

With the extensive use of well-crafted and multi-sensory materials in a class, children are gradually introduced to more complex concepts. The use of these instructions requires minimal instructions from teachers and parents, as they are designed for self-monitoring and self-correction.

When children use and manipulate these materials, their brains develop hundreds of new neuronal channels in their brains. These new brain connections result in higher thinking, creative thinking, problem-solving, and logical reasoning.

 Introducing children to science at an early age helps introduce advanced topics and prepares them for making discoveries ahead. The topics introduced include the basics of everything. This range from the beginning of the world to some general zoology, botany, physics, chemistry, and astronomy.

 To introduce the children to science, the primary approach that can be used is the hands-on approach. The hands-on approach involves the child's observation skills, through which he learns to organize and differentiate between different subjects.

 Also, introducing children to science from an early age works to ease off their curiosity. A young child constantly questions his surroundings by asking questions such as "What?" "Why?" "When?" "Where?" "Who?" and "How?" Furthermore, undoubtedly, answering these questions with different science disciplines helps them in their intellectual and analytical growth.

 Science is the study of nature, and introducing a child of a very young age to science will always be fruitful. At this young age, the curiosity level of a child is very high, and questions everything around them. Also, they are ready to touch, feel, and observe anything that comes their way.

Here, it is essential to note that observation is the first step in reaching a scientific theory. Therefore, designing science activities for children will help them observe and analyze will help them in various ways.

A child introduced to science will learn to ask questions and become a keen observer, analyzer, and explorer who has a deep passion for experimenting and learning things. With this observational and hands-on experience, they will also find a way to positively utilize their natural observing traits.

Art and craft activities are one of the most excellent ways for children to communicate their feelings. These activities are also crucial for the children as they help them develop their fine motor skills. A classroom provides a child with the opportunities to get involved in open-ended art activities to explore and discover their creative skills. Inside the classroom environment, the reason for art and crafts activities is to focus on the process of the child’s potential for self-discovery.

A child comes into this world with several tendencies. What this method of teaching does here is that it enhances those natural tendencies and prepares the child for the upcoming life. Indeed, art is also one of such natural tendencies, and various methods are applied in teaching to reinforce and revitalize it.

The classroom environment contains a lot of different materials that help children in exploring their abilities via art. An important thing to note here is that the arts and crafts activities provided in the classroom environment are not in the traditional step-by-step form. Instead, it is incorporated all around the classroom. Whether language or storytelling, history and visual representation of time, mathematical exercises, or geography, art and craft can be found everywhere in the classroom.

Phonetic teaching is considered very important. First, the child is introduced to each alphabet's sound. Then, they are shown each alphabet that relates to its sound. This method is entirely different from the one in which adults name these alphabets. 

Reading and writing are not challenging for adults since they have mastered these skills throughout their lifetime. However, for a child, this scenario is entirely different. The brain is busy rewiring itself, and it is daunting to accept all the new information about literacy, symbols, sounds, words, and their association. The amateur brain must also learn to put all this new information into the string of ideas.

Moreover, another critical skill the child needs to learn is putting these ideas onto the page, i.e., writing. Writing these ideas and symbols requires complex physical skills revolving around integrating fine motor muscle skills and nervous coordination whilst holding the pencil.

The important role during this writing and reading journey is played by materials, printed books and pictures. 

يعتبر التدريس الصوتي مهمًا جدًا. بادئ ذي بدء ، يتعرف الطفل على الصوت الذي تصدره كل أبجدية. بعد ذلك ، يتم عرض كل أبجدية تتعلق بصوتها. تختلف هذه الطريقة تمامًا عن الطريقة التي يسمي بها البالغون هذه الحروفيي الهجائية.

بالنسبة للكبار ، لا تمثل القراءة والكتابة تحديًا لأنهم أتقنوا بالفعل هذه المهارات طوال حياتهم. ومع ذلك ، بالنسبة للطفل ، فإن هذا السيناريو مختلف تمامًا. ينشغل الدماغ بإعادة توصيل نفسه ، وقبول كل المعلومات الجديدة حول معرفة القراءة والكتابة والرموز والأصوات والكلمات وارتباطها معًا هو مهمة شاقة أو هي. يجب على عقل الهواة أيضًا أن يتعلم كيفية وضع كل هذه المعلومات الجديدة في سلسلة الأفكار.

علاوة على ذلك ، هناك مهارة مهمة أخرى يحتاج الطفل إلى تعلمها وهي وضع هذه الأفكار على الصفحة ، أي الكتابة. تتطلب كتابة هذه الأفكار والرموز مهارات بدنية معقدة تدور حول دمج مهارات العضلات الحركية الدقيقة والتنسيق العصبي أثناء إمساك القلم الرصاص.

تلعب المواد والكتب المطبوعة والصور دورًا مهمًا خلال رحلة الكتابة والقراءة.
