Some ideas to help moms as they become “teachers” during this crazy time .
SCAVENGER HUNT: You can adjust to your child’s age and abilities.
Give a letter of the alphabet . Have your children look around the house and find items that begin with that letter. Ending with the letter will make it more difficult. If they know how to write have them write it down and compare what they found.
PANTRY PLAY: this is a good visual memory activity. Have them look in the pantry or another closet . Give the a few minutes to look . Close the door and see how many items they can remember .
STORY TELLING to help with imagination, organization , flexibility .
One person starts a story . Each person adds a line to the story
GIVING DIRECTIONS: have one child draw a picture using different shapes. Have that child give directions to another child using only words. For example , “Make a large circle in the middle of your page. to the right of your circle make a small square. to the left of your circle make a purple triangle. When they are finished you can compare the pictures. Who gave great directions??!!, who did great job following directions??
QUIET TIME coloring
SOCIAL SKILLS ask basic questions.
“What would you do if you saw some one sitting alone at recess” etc
IMAGINATION STATION Put all of those toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls in an area of your house with tape, paper and some paper cups or egg cartons , boxes (whatever you have) have your child build. Just build. With no direction! Let them use their imagination ask them to make an invention. “If you could invent anything what would it be” “build it and let’s talk about it”
INDOOR GYM build an obstacle course
SCIENCE and MATH cook with your child!!! Use measurements, liquid vs solids
