Cookie ABCs
Turn a snack into a word game and help reinforce your kindergartner's language art skills.
You can use alphabet cookies to make a language game out of the snack.
What You'll Need:
- Alphabet cookies
Here's How To Do It
Make your own alphabet cookies from this recipe or buy a healthy version such as Newman's Own Alphabet Cookies. Have your child close her eyes, and reach for a letter. Now have her think of a word that starts with that letter. For more advanced learners, think of a sentence using words that start with only that letter. An example might be "Jessica juggles jars of jelly beans."
