This activity can be adapted for all levels. It works really well for your kids with high energy. Kenzie was working on her letter sounds. We did this activity two ways with her. You will need simple flash cards for whatever you are doing. You can make your own or buy some. They sell them at the Dollar Store, so I would go that route. You can do this for math facts, sight words, foreign language words, letters, sounds, capitals, etc. One way we did it (pictured above) is she would need to slap the letter that matched the sound I made. The other way we did it (pictured below) is that she would need to slap the picture of the sound I made. So if I said “Mmm”, she’d slap the picture of the mouse.
Corban also was able to join in the fun. We are working on vocabulary with him. He is almost two, so his word knowledge is growing quickly, and we can help it. For him, I had him slapping the picture of what I said. So, if I said, “Slap the queen.” He could hit it. He picked it up quite well, and smacking things is right up his alley.
Love this. One of my boys (twins) is pretty high energy and always on the move…this would be great for him. I can use our picture flashcards to work vocab. Thanks for another great idea!
