Word Chain
In this game, one person says a word, and the next person must say a word that starts with the last letter of the previous word. The game continues with each player taking turns to come up with a word until someone can't think of a word or repeats a word that has already been said. It is not easy, so you can help a little. Together, try to first work out what letter the word ends with and then try to find a next word.
Goal:
Improve auditory perception, to identify the first and last letter in a word
Improve vocabulary
Bouncy ball
Have the child stand at a distance of roughly 2 meters away from a wall. He tosses a ball towards the wall, allows it to rebound off the floor once, and then catches it again.
Goal:
Improve coordination of movement
Improve depht perception
Improve eye movement fluency
Improve concentration
Umbrella
Let’s draw an umbrella together:
Hup-hup, jump for a beat, (draw a few small waves)
Then do a big saw, so neat, (join the waves at the top with a big arc)
A small point on top, and some ribs too, (draw a small point at the top and draw lines from the tip with the waves)
Draw lines down slowly, and a big stick will do. (draw an umbrella handle)
Now we have an umbrella, ready for the rain,
To keep us dry and cozy, when it pours again.
So let's hup-hup, jump and play,
With our umbrella, on a rainy day!
Goal:
Improve graphomotor skills
Improve focus
Improve memory
Improve pronunciation.
Opposites Search
Start by saying a word, such as "big". Then ask the child to say the opposite, which could be "small". Encourage them to come up with some examples, like a big car and a small car.
While on a walk, you can search for a big dog (car, house, tree) and a small dog (car, house, tree), or something that is young and old, good and bad, or something that smells good and bad.
This game is a fun way to learn about opposites and to explore the world around us.
Goal:
Improve vocabulary
Let's break the words down into syllables
Let's break the words down into syllables: air-plane, tree, um-brel-la. You can walk like a robot or jump on every syllable.
Goal:
Improve auditory perception (analysis and synthesis of words)
How did it go? We will be taking a brief break from auditory perception exercises next week. Instead, we will be focusing on visual perception, graphomotor skills, and motor skills. Although we will still incorporate something related to auditory perception into the activities.
