Game (optional): Sight Words
Writing & pencil control
Do: Check who said it. Read the exchange with someone at home, taking one character each. Follow the bubble tails to find each speaker. Ask whether the second line answers the first. Change a word or tail if needed; keep the amount of writing short.

Game (optional): Sight Words
Numbers & shapes
Do: Build a shape picture. Invite your child to draw a pretend bus or house from flat shapes. Ask them to describe two shapes by their sides and corners. Show that a square is a special rectangle with four equal sides; other rectangles can have two longer and two shorter sides.
You need: Paper and crayons
Talk: How are this square and this long rectangle alike?

Game (optional): Shape Detective
Science & our world
Do: Leave a place for feeding. Draw bees visiting flowers. Explain that bees get food from flowers. Ask what would happen if someone picked every flower there. Draw a caring choice: leave flowers growing and watch from a distance. Do not put out food or try to attract bees.
You need: Paper and crayons
Talk: Why could leaving flowers help bees?

Game (optional): Eco Helpers
Thinking & feelings
Do: Choose a useful check. Ask your child to look away while you put the sock under one cup. Let them guess where it is, then choose a cup to lift. Say what you now know from looking. Swap roles; a changed answer shows new information.
You need: Two unbreakable cups and a whole sock
Talk: How could we check that idea?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Focus Farm
Moving & making
Do: A flamingo choice. Offer your hand while your child briefly lightens one foot or lifts it a little, then returns to two steady feet. Seated players can lift and lower one hand instead. Choose a favourite animal shape and describe where the hands are.
You need: A clear space and an adult's offered hand
Talk: Would you like support or a seated version?

Game (optional): Position Quest
