Our week: KG 2, week 19
Dates: to · Try one activity on a day that suits you. Repeat or pause any part.
Reading & talking
Do: Read and act. Write cow, now and out. Read cow before making its animal sound. Read now and tap the table together now. Model ou in out, then blend the word together and point out of the room. Say each word naturally.
You need: Paper and a pencil
Talk: Which letters write the vowel sound in out?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Rhyme Time
Writing & pencil control
Do: Write and connect. Say the first label together. Your child writes sounds they know; you help with the rest. Add a line from the label to the correct part. Write a second label on another side so the lines are easy to follow.
You need: The drawing and a pencil
Talk: Where should this label line end?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Trace It
Numbers & shapes
Do: Which side goes down? Hold the hanger by its hook with a peg at each end, and check that it hangs level. Your child pegs the sock to one end and the spoon to the other. Which side went down? That side holds the heavier thing. Swap them over to check, then try other pairs.
You need: A plastic coat hanger, two clothes pegs, a sock and a large metal spoon
Talk: Which side went down, and what does that tell us?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Size Safari
Science & our world
Do: Look at the frozen water. When frozen, an adult brings out the container and gently tips it to show that the solid ice keeps its shape. Observe without touching or tasting. Draw what changed. Leave it safely on a tray at room temperature to watch it melt; wipe spills.
You need: The container on a tray, paper and pencil
Talk: What changed when the ice melted?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Hot & Cold Lab
Thinking & feelings
Do: Choose an ending. Draw three choices: put the game away together, take a pause or play again if both agree. After a pretend or real round, choose an ending. Model "Thanks for playing" without requiring your child to repeat it or hide disappointment.
You need: Paper and crayons
Talk: Which ending would work for both of us?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Feelings Friends
Moving & making
Do: A tiny puppet meeting. Make a short scene: the friend arrives, asks how the puppet feels and listens. Use your hand as the friend if needed. Let your child move the puppet, speak or direct you. Change one gesture to show what happens at the end.
You need: The puppet and an optional second sock
Talk: Which gesture helps tell the ending?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Feelings Friends
A possible rhythm: one or two strands a day, on the days that suit you. Swap days freely. Games are optional and never replace the home activity.
