"Creative Assessment"
Assessing creativity in Pre-Primary learners can be challenging, as young children often express their creativity in ways that are unique and unpredictable. However, assessing creativity is an essential part of evaluating a child's development, and it can provide insight into their problem-solving skills, imagination, and ability to think outside the box.



Here are some creative assessment methods that can be used for Pre-Primary learners: Art-based assessments: Art is an excellent way to assess creativity in young children. Observing a child's art can provide insight into their imagination, use of colors, ability to draw and create, and willingness to experiment with different materials. Teachers can ask students to create art pieces based on a specific prompt or let them express their creativity freely.



Storytelling assessments: Storytelling and drama are other creative assessment methods that allow children to express themselves and showcase their imagination. Educators can ask learners to create a story or act out a scene, which will give them an opportunity to use their creativity and problem-solving skills.


Music and movement assessments: Music and movement assessments can be an excellent way to evaluate a child's creativity and coordination skills. Educators can ask learners to sing rhymes with dance and sing a song. These assessments can also help learners develop their social skills, as they often involve group activities.


Observation assessments: Observation is an essential part of assessing creativity in Pre-Primary learners. Educators can observe learners during free play, group activities, or class discussions, which can provide insight into their imagination, problem-solving skills, and ability to work with others.


Assessing creativity in Pre-Primary learners requires a range of methods that are engaging and age-appropriate. It encourages the development of creativity and critical thinking among learners and provides opportunities to use content in new ways, through examining multiple perspectives, solving problems, and applying ideas in original situations.



Assessment can provide a record of growth in all development areas. We Identify learners who may need additional support and determine if there is a need for support. In this case, we evaluate them by the play way method.


In Gajera School at the end of the year educators had taken a creative assessment of learners. So that they did not have any burden of learning and they enjoyed this assessment quite happily.
