25 things a Kindergarten Student can bring for show and tell

Show and tell" is a fun and engaging activity for kindergarteners. Show and tell encourages children to develop their public speaking skills by presenting their item to their classmates. This can help build their confidence and communication skills, which can benefit them in future academic and social situations.

Show and tell allows children to share their unique interests and experiences, which can spark their creativity and imagination. It also exposes them to new ideas and perspectives, which can broaden their worldview.

It also helps build social skills by encouraging children to share and listen to their classmates, as well as respect and empathy for others by teaching children to be attentive and respectful listeners.

Show and tell can be used to enhance learning by incorporating educational themes or concepts. For example, a child could bring in a science experiment they conducted or a historical artifact they learned about in class.
