Block Building Activity

Here is a fun play activity for your child. Build simple objects with blocks and have your child copy what you built. For toddlers start with stacking two or three blocks on top of each other and as your child is able to copy very simple designs gradually move onto more complicated designs that require more blocks. You can also have your child follow a pattern with different shapes and or colours.

Going On A Rhyme Hunt

Teaching your children to understand how to rhyme is one of the best ways to prepare your preschooler to learn how to read. Remember to explain that for a word to rhyme the last sound has to sound the same.

Choose a variety of different objects around your house/classroom and walk around with your child/ren pointing out the objects you have chosen and encourage them to tell you what rhymes with that word. You could also have two rhyming objects close to each other to make it easier for young children such as a mat and a baseball bat or show them a chair and have the children point to their hair.

Another version of the game you can play is give your children pictures of objects and have them find rhyming objects around the house or classroom.
