By Debora Marines MEQ| Kindergarten Teacher | Updated 2026
What can you do with Seesaw? Why should you use this free app in your classroom? There are so many cool ways to use Seesaw, but I think providing a record of learning, reflection, and parent communication is the best reason to use Seesaw. Check out these 10 sensational Seesaw ideas for kindergarten that I use to develop a great home-to-school connection.
I always plan to start right away using the resource provided by Seesaw to introduce the app to the students! On “Back to School Night” I take a picture of the kiddos and their parents so I have an image to learn the kiddos names before the 1st day!
In class, this FREE Seesaw Student Challenge is fun! I bet your students will love it!

Sensational Seesaw Ideas for Kindergarten
Researching and recording: After learning all about dinosaurs, we pretended to discover a dinosaur, created it with colored paper, and then wrote about it! The students thought the best part was recording with Seesaw to share. Click to buy Dinosaur Stem Activity and Narrative Writing Resource.
Letter/Sound Learning: The students loved using BINGO dabbers to record learning on our Alphabet Assessment, but then placing it on Seesaw to share with others provided the most amazing self-discovery!
Rereading: I also used it to have the students record a rereading! This probably made the most impact on my reading group time. Students could work in pairs while I did a running record on another student. I could then listen to the rereading for strategies and fluency after school. It saved so much time; I was amazed! You can check out all my Emergent Readers Here.
Games: Recording of games for parents to see the learning that was happening made the students so proud! I heard from so many parents that they were so happy to share with the kids at home! Instead of hearing, “Nothing,” when the student came home, parents shared Seesaw and had many conversations! Students finished a game and then recorded what they did! This helps with accountability and engagement! They always wanted to finish a game to record. Click for Feed the Animals Game.
