Some more fun games for
comprehensive language learning. (Those who are new please read FUN AND LEARN) These games are mostly focused on improving the vocabulary.
Age 4 years and above
Shopping list: We make a family
shopping list for our monthly shopping and as a tradition each member writes on
the list what he/she wants. My son is allowed 4 items. He writes these on the
list on his own.
Menu card: We maintain a menu for
each day (Whiteboard hanged in the kitchen). This is maintained by No.1 our Mom’s
cafe manager. He is in-charge of entering the date and specific menu for the
day after consultation with the chef. In addition to the meals, any extra chit
pits like cheese, biscuits, jelly is available only after writing on the extra cards
What you need: Any note book/Whiteboard/Blackboard
and a lot of strength to encourage your child to maintain it on a daily basis.
Keep some small extra cards for
the chit pits.
Shopping trip: We highlight one
area of a room as a department store, where I keep lots of cards with different
items on them (not written, drawn or pictures on one side). After this I
handover a shopping list to my kid and a trolley (No.2’s pram) and ask him to
read the item, search for it, pick it, put it and pay for it.
Please start with very simple
items on the list. Use the words that he already knows and is comfortable with.
After the shopping, encourage him
to write the name of the item on the back of the picture card.
I keep laminating all the cards that we make during the games. These can
be used again and again for reference and I will keep them for no.2
