Take Five Words

A frosty haybale in the sun. Montessori materials are inspired by the world around us.

Take Five Words is a simple idea which helps sow the seeds of lifelong education.

Using five words as a base, we can create poetry, stories, images, and even research projects.

Not only does this work in childhood education, it can also be applied in adulthood; we’ll start with children though!

These short activities will be included in a road map that eventually links back to my Montessori Great Lesson resources. The plan is to create a contents page and an index in my resource directory – just like you would find in a book.

This is a live blog page and it will be updated regularly, so you can either pop back or join my newsletter if you’d like to be kept up to date.
