Learning through play is the secret to building confidence, focus & early learning skills! Here are 3 quick & easy games to get started:
Mystery Bag Challenge – Hide an object in a bag. Let your child feel & describe before guessing. (Boosts vocabulary & thinking!)
Children adore an element of mystery. You can use any bag that you have and just place an object inside. I like to keep this themed. For example, I tell my son - 'This is something that you can find in the kitchen.' or 'This is a fruit.' etc. This is such a fun game with so much learning involved! If they correctly guess the item, they can reveal it and you can use the item to ask them lots of questions. Eg. What do you do with it? Why do you use it? Where else might you find it?
Sound Hunt – Pick a sound (like “S”) & have your child find objects that start with it! (Builds phonics & listening skills!) It also encourages focus and concentration! Choose two or three objects that begin with that sound and hide them around the room. Give your child clues as to where they can find the items and have lots of fun with this! When your child finds the item, let them tell you what it is and then ask them what sound it begins with.
Action Simon Says – Add a two-step challenge: “Touch your toes, then spin!” (Strengthens memory & focus!) Great for the personal development aspect of the EYFS curriculum and also great for following instructions!
The best part? They’re learning without even realising it!
