“Fun With Words” Activities
|
Begin to express themselves by scribbling. |
Allow for scribbling. Give blank pages to write on. |
Point out familiar logos and symbols such as McDonalds®. |
Cut out familiar logos and create a picture book. Write a story at the bottom of each page with your child as the main character. |
Enjoy listening to story books and retelling familiar simple stories. |
Choose books that have a character repeating one thing over and over so the story is easy to follow. |
Begin to use objects to represent other things, like a block becomes a bed in The Three Bears. |
Use props and act out a story. Follow your child’s lead as he becomes a character who does things differently than the main character in the book. |
Can place objects, spoken words or ideas in groups that share common traits. |
Cut out pictures from magazines or grocery flyers so that your child can lace them into common groups. Ask him to sort pictures in two groups: Food/Toys or Can Eat/Can Not Eat. |
