So, for A is for Apple, I made up a game to practice counting. John goes to Nana's every Monday and they go feed donkeys and horses apples. John LOVES it and when we say anything about going to Nana's, he immediately says 'Feed donkeys, feed horses. Cut apples.' So I thought I would make him a game where he feeds a horse apples.
My thoughts of how this will work:
1. Tape the picture of the horse (images are below!) to the front of an empty cereal box. Cut a slit for the mouth.
2. Print and cut out the apples.
3. John will draw a number from a pile (can write the numbers 1-10 on small sheets of paper, can print them out, or can even just call out a number if you are in a pinch!) He will have to 'feed' the horse that many apples.
If you try this before I do next week, let me know how it goes and if you have suggestions for changes!
I link up to these parties!
Cute! I've created a few of these for my daughter and she always loves them. Too bad she's not so into feeding herself, Ms. Picky. lol
ReplyDeleteThanks! I may revisit "A" with Ella in the New Year. So, we may use it. I will let you know. I am trying to have a "focus" for each week too! We will see how it goes. I am giving myself the goal of starting the second or third week of Jan. Happy New Year to you guys! Kerri
