Color Game

I found this color sorting game while searching around on the internet and thought your child might enjoy playing it.  The directions for the game are as follows:

Drag each object into the box of the same color.  If you get it wrong it will bounce out of the box.  If you get it right it will stay in the box. 

Click on the link below the picture to start the game.

Snowball Fight!

Snow Day!  When we get back to school on Monday we are going to have a snowball fight in our room!  Maybe you would like to have one with your child this weekend.  Read below to find out how to have one and give it a try!

What You Will Need:

  • Scrap White Paper (8-1/2 x 11 paper makes perfect sized “snowballs”)
  • Baskets or containers to hold snowballs
  • 4 or more players (can be played with less people, but is definitely more fun with more people)
  • Safe, open play area in your home
  • Timer
  • Masking Tape

What You Do:

  • Write the letters of the alphabet on the paper.
  • Make the  “snowballs” by crumpling white sheets of paper into a ball. Place “snowballs” in a basket until ready to use.
  • Once everyone has made as many “snowballs” as desired, let the Snowball Fight begin!

How to Play:

  • Put a long piece of masking tape down on the safe open play area dividing the area into half.
  • Put a basket(s) of snowballs on each side of the tape.
  • Divide the players into 2 teams and stand on each side of the tape.
  • Set the timer for 1 minute.
  • Start throwing snowballs and continue throwing them until the timer goes off.
  • Once the timer goes off stop throwing the snowballs.  Now pick up the snowballs one at a time and open it up and state what letter is written on the snowball.
  • Once the letter has been identified crumble it back up and place it back in the basket and get ready for another snowball fight! 

Variations:

  • State the letter name and the sound it makes.
