Bake Some Words!
Forget handwriting practice at a desk, take it to the kitchen! This writing activity lets kids practice spelling and writing with cookie dough.
Build Family Mailboxes!
Does your child stalk the postman, hoping for something with his name on it? You can help him practice his writing skills, while ensuring he'll get an envelope or two of his own, by helping him build a mailbox for each member of the family.
Fill in the Blanks for Writing Fun
This fill-in-the-blanks game is a little like Mad Libs, but for emerging writers. Get ready for some silly sentences!
Toss and Blend: A Carnival Game
Have you ever played the carnival game where you try to toss chips into a cup, to win a fabulous prize? This version may not snag your kid a human-sized stuffed giraffe, but it will give them a boost with writing and spelling. So get out those paper cups!
Build Sentence Puzzles
Does your kindergartener know what a sentence is? Does she keep reading, long after she reaches the period, like she's in a run-on marathon? Help her practice reading, and learn the key pieces to the sentence puzzle, by creating sentence puzzles at home!
Make a Heart Brooch
Kids generally can't come up with the cash to buy the bling they dream of giving mom. With this project, they can make her jewelry themselves!
Trace Letters on Rice
Is your kindergartner eager to practice writing? Does he love to play with his food? Enjoy making designs in his mashed potatoes or carrot puree? Then he'll get a big kick out of working on his handwriting...using rice!
Play Beep!: A Context Game
This simple game isn't just a diversion, it teaches your child to identify the incorrect word within a familiar verse. This provides important practice in how to contextualize what they are hearing, which is a great step towards reading and writing.
Alphabet Hunt
Ask a child if he wants to practice his alphabet and you'll likely get snubbed. But ask if he'd like to play letter detective? You just might hook yourself a fish.
Tell a Story with Character Cubes!
Storytelling is a great way for kindergartners to develop their speaking and writing skills. In this activity, get your child to start sharing by creating Character Cubes! Just roll these dice and start spinning stories!
