There are lots of ways to help children learn about the periodic table. Try an activity, play a game - follow up with a worksheet and you will be on your way!

Learning about the periodic table doesn't have to be a drag!

Kids love to get involved, so these ideas include lots of hands on activities for you to try. When they are having fun, you can be sure they are learning.

Periodic Table Activities

Here are some fun things to try when learning about the periodic table.

  • Make your own. A fun hands-on project is to start collecting your own elements. My Periodic Table for kids page helps you get started.

  • Videos. There is a link to some great videos about the periodic table at Free Educational Videos.

  • Craft and Games. Ellen has some nice downloadable games available free on her site - and a really nice idea for making a periodic table pillowcase.

  • Card Games. My children love to play a card game called top trumps. There is a Periodic Table Top Trumps version available here for the US.

  • Lego periodic table instructions.

  • Periodic Table cupcakes. This would be a great way of presenting the periodic table for kids! Check it out!
