Preschool List of Themes and Topics

Flower

Welcome to our Preschool Theme Ideas page, your go-to resource for creating fun and educational lesson plans for your preschoolers.

Whether you’re looking to explore the wonders of nature, dive into the world of animals, or spark creativity through seasonal themes with your group, we’ve prepared a list of popular and fun themes for your lesson plan.

Once you choose a theme, you can create learning activities such as playtime, circle time, worksheets, coloring pages, outings, crafts, and more featuring your theme for the week.

Choices for themes and topics can reflect the interests and needs of preschoolers at that moment in time. It can be what is going on at the time of the year, like season’s changes or holidays coming up, or a special event happening during the week, such as a child losing a tooth or another child getting a new puppy.

Have fun choosing from our list of ideas!

About Preschool Themes and Topics

Topics: Topics refer to specific subjects or areas of interest that you want to cover. They are more focused and can be thought of as individual units of study. Examples of topics include colors, numbers, and shapes.

Themes: Themes are broader and encompass a variety of related topics. They provide a clear foundation for organizing your content into a thematic unit. Examples of themes include “under the sea” and “modes of transportation.”

Combining both topics and themes in a lesson plan gives you content ranging from focused subject matter to broad thematic units.
