Our week: KG 2, week 20
Dates: to · Try one activity on a day that suits you. Repeat or pause any part.
Reading & talking
Do: Rhyme bridges. Write boy and toy on one line, then boy and coin below. Read together: the first pair rhymes, the second shares a vowel but has different endings. Revisit cow and now and listen for their matching endings. Say each pair naturally.
You need: Paper and a pencil
Talk: How are oi and oy alike in coin and toy?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Rhyme Time
Writing & pencil control
Do: Let a reader check. Show the diagram to someone at home. Ask them to follow each line and point to the named part. Your child can read labels with help. If a line or word is unclear, make one useful change together.
You need: The labelled drawing
Talk: Could we make one label clearer?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Trace It
Numbers & shapes
Do: Home shop. Take turns as shopkeeper and customer. An item priced at 5 can be paid for with amounts worth 5 altogether, such as one 5 or five 1s. Use suitable local coins or large pretend amount cards.
You need: Packets from the kitchen, price labels (1 to 10), coins
Talk: How can you make 5 with different coins?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Pay and Change
Science & our world
Do: A shared space. Draw a pretend park with a wrapper on the path and a plant beside it. Discuss what might help. Explain that an adult handles unknown rubbish, sharp items and dirty waste. Choose a safe job at home, such as putting your own clean scrap paper in its agreed place.
You need: Paper and crayons
Talk: When can we turn the tap off without missing a washing step?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Eco Helpers
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: Sound and service together. One person makes the opening sound while the other welcomes a customer. Practise asking for two drawn mangoes, finding them and packing them into a box. Give a spoken warning before the closing sound. Switch musician and shopkeeper roles so each person coordinates with the other's cue.
You need: The pretend shop and instruments
Talk: How do the cup and box sound different?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Five Senses
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.
