Play a phonics scavenger hunt no matter where you are. This game will have your child sounding out words and finding letter sounds in the objects around them.

Play hopscotch with numbers, but also with letters, to get kids ready for reading.

In this variation on musical chairs, no one gets kicked "out" of the game -- instead, they get to tell other kids what to do!

A new twist on the game of charades will inspire your first grader to look at her favorite books in a whole new light.
