* This is a great phonics game you can play at home. It is creative, cooperative (rather than competitive) and does not require any special materials. Write a single letter each on 26 post its or index cards. Write some simple categories, one each, on post its or index cards. For example, animals, vegetables, toys, etc. Have your child choose one letter card and one category card. Together, think of as many items that as you can that both fit the category and letter chosen. Write them down. Play a few rounds and see which list is the longest.
** This is a memory game that is easy to play. Gather 5 simple household items and a dish towel. Tell your child the name of each item as you point to it. Then cover all 5 items with the towel, slip your hand under the towel and remove one item before displaying the remaining items. Ask your child what is missing. You can give hints if needed. You can use more items to make the game more challenging.
