Summer Fun and Learning Part #1

Summer Learning and Fun

Here are 3 super simple and fun activities you can do today to keep your kids busy while learning the basics this summer!  They can play independently or with a group.

All activities can be adapted to develop the skills your child is working on, from learning letters and sounds, numbers or sight words.

#1 The Alpha Ball - Take a beach ball and write with a Sharpie letters, numbers OR sight words.  Toss or roll the ball.  Wherever you catch the ball, name the letter (number) closest to your thumb.










#2 Solo Cup Challenge - Create and build a structure OR write letters or numbers on the cups and stack the ones you can name.  Cup building is a fun activity for any age and is a free time favorite activity!

#3 Lego Build Hunt - Have your children find 26  2x4 Lego bricks and have them stack into a single tower.  Write a letter of the alphabet on each brick with a Sharpie.  Take the bricks apart and scatter them around the yard.  Have your children hunt for the Lego bricks and put the tower back together again in ABC order.  You can do with with letters or numbers #1-20.

Let me know how your kids like these simple activities!
