In this game, your child can practice letter recognition and dance with Big Bird and Snuffy. Play Now! Arthur Arthur's Park. Curious George Hide and Seek Mathematics. Molly of Denali Veggiezilla! Super Why! Sesame Street Seasons Spinner Spin up some fun with Abby and Rudy while exploring and learning about all four seasons…winter, spring, summer, and fall!
Team Hamster! Forcing a daily reading habit can make kids feel like grabbing a book is just another dreaded assignment; those constant reading reminders can instill not just an annoyed eye-roll…but a serious aversion to books and literature. Parents of young readers can use games to help kids learn to read and begin to embrace a love of words…and literacy. Ready to play and read, too? Here are six games to play at home, the store or even outdoors! Have fun! Head outdoors to find those words, or grab a book and encourage children to point out their sight words.
Play this game at the grocery store, too, and see just how many sight words your child can spot on boxes, cans, or ads! You can buy these supplies at most discount stores. On the board, create a phrase that your child will have to solve. Use dashes to represent each letter of your word or phrase. Your child will pick letters to try to solve the puzzle. For every letter your child guesses incorrectly, draw a part of a daisy.
The first incorrect letter is the stem, the next a leaf, another leaf, the center face of the flower, then draw petals you can draw up to six petals. Your child will have up to 10 incorrect guesses before the full flower is drawn and the game ends.
On your mark, get set, READ! Use the core concept of the game to come up with a variation for your little one.
Instead of the usual seven letters, give your child a wider variety of letters to use. Make sure vowels are provided aplenty. Ask your child to come up with as many words as he can using those letters. You can provide a guiding list of sorts, by starting him off with three letter words, and then ramp it up to words with more letters.
Let him write down each word that he makes on the piece of paper. The core formation of speech revolves around the connection of letters with typical sounds of speech. Use this game to match the right ones together. Start by dividing the board into two columns. On one side, write a bunch of rimes, which would generally be the letters such as b, h, m, y, l, k and so on.
In the other column, write as many onsets as you can. These could be anything from an, on, at, or, and many others. Ask your child to assign one coloured marker for each rime and connect them to as many onsets as possible to form legible words. Let him say the words aloud once he connects them. Experimentation is a great way for kids to discover and learn new things. The same can be achieved with a flip book game for reading words. Prep the diaries by writing the alphabet on each page of it.
Let your child do this as a warming up of sorts. Once all the diaries have a letter on each page, tell a word to your child and let him figure out how many letters there are in it. Based on it, he needs to use those diaries as flip books, arrange them linearly, and flip each one of them to the letter that can spell the word when reading together. You can start off gradually with simpler words and then ramp up to complex ones that can get him racking his brains.
This game is best enjoyed in a group of children where everybody can work together to achieve a singular objective. Make around four hopscotch maps in an open area, with each of them having seven letters in them. Each kid is responsible for the letters in his hopscotch map. Now, when you pick a word, the kids have to work together in hopping to the letters in the word in sequential order.
This can get quite exciting, and you can set a time limit as well to ramp up the drama. The benefit of reading can be achieved only when it is read out or experienced again. Let your child do the same by being a storyteller himself. Pick out a story that your kid usually loves or has read multiple times. This could be either from a storybook or in any subject of their curriculum as well. Let him make some props that might be required in the story or wear the clothes of a character.
Set the mood, prop yourself up on a sofa, and ask your kid to enact the story for you. Ask him to combine storytelling with any actions described in the story itself. You can do the same with your kids at home using simple words, too. Put together various objects that might be available at home.
