Related Home Activities

I have been blogging about ways to make Home Related Activities fun!  Here is the last of three blogs.  I hope you have found these ideas interesting and useful as you incorporate them into your daily home routines.

Listening for Sounds

Ask your child to close his/her eyes and see if he/she can identify some ordinary household sounds.  Running water, a telelphone or doorbell ring, and household appliances are good sounds to start with.  After the child has had some experience playing the sound game, introduce some more difficult sounds such as a broom sweeping the floor or food cooking.

 Rhymes

Help your child learn some short poems, nursery rhymes, or finger games like Eency Weency Spider.  Encourage your child to sing the songs he/she learns at school or from television shows.  Ask your child to say a word and then see how many words he/she can rhyme with it.
