This activity goes along with Lesson 3 in our workbook, About Me.
| Here is a listening game that is loads of fun – your child will want to play it over and over again! |
You’ll need the following supplies:
- Popcorn seeds
- Marbles
- Raisins
- Rice
- Coins
- Toothpicks
- Pebbles
- Raw shell pasta
- Oat Cereal
| First, download our Matching Sounds Mat (About Me Worksheets-Lesson 3) and print out. We put ours in a page protector. |
 |
Fill 9 plastic Easter eggs with the supplies. This game is trickier if the eggs are all the same color.
 |
Ask your child to heft, shake, and listen to each egg. |
 |
He can guess what’s in them by placing each on it’s corresponding square on the mat. |
 |
When he is done guessing, your child can open each egg to see if he’s correct. |
 |
It’s pretty cool to see him light up when he gets it right! |
Why We Like It:
- Kids like the colorful mat and the opportunity to “guess” by placing eggs on the squares.
- Kids excitedly anticipate the completion of the game, when they get to see how many eggs they guessed correctly.
- This is a good introduction to the process of elimination and is not as easy as it looks – it might take your child a few practices to get them all right!
