Silliness Rules!: Weekend Tip

12:36 am Games and Activities

Kids love any games or activities that allow them to be goofy.  This weekend, try a preschool activity that includes the silly quotient to teach her about the animal kingdom, besides developing her language skills.

The story could start like this :

Mommy and (her name) were on their way to the farm.  On the way, they met a dog.  The dog said, “Bow Wow.” 

Now, let her sing a rhyme using the barks for the words.

Do this for other farm animals.  Each time, let her use the animal sounds to bark, neigh, quack and cluck through the rhyme or song.  Use simple rhymes that she knows - Old Mac Donald, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star etc.

Next story: Substitute the forest for the farm, and include wild animals.

This activity is almost painfully silly, but fun for the kids.! Plus, learning animal sounds is a lot more fun this way.

    What a great game. I’m going to file this away for when my daughter is a little older.

    I’m visiting from Melissa’s today. Great profile on her blog!
