Doing Activities

The learning doesn't have to stop after you turn the TV off or close a book. Below are a few activity ideas for building on what you watch on TV or read in a book.

Make an "I Can Do" list
Whenever your children learn a new skill, such as "I can slide" or "I know about dogs," add it to the list

Play "The Continuing Story Game"
Start a story and stop right in the middle of a sentence. For instance, "One day, when I was in the park and saw three elephants..." Ask your children to add to the story and to stop when they want you to take it over. Keep the story going until one of you comes up with an ending.
