Sorry for the lag in posts... AGAIN... my new little one is giving me quite the time, and i spend most of my days holding her, which makes most things nearly impossible. We are kind of in a dirty-laundry-dirty-dishes-house-and-mommy-are-a-wreck sort of state around here. She has learned to spit out her reflux medication and has chronic GI issues. We finally went to the GI specialist, who confirmed all we thought- one of those kids with a tough system...
ANYWAY... I got them both outside recently (its been in the high 60s, low 70s some days) and we used sidewalk chalk to mix up our ABCs. My son is in the early reading stage and is doing great with 3 letter words, and is ready to step it up a bit. For this game, I would say a word "log" and he would find each letter and hop on it, spelling the word. After he landed on the third letter he would spell the whole word aloud. Simple, Quick, Outside and EFFECTIVE.
adapt: for those learning to recgonize ABCs, simply call out the letter
for those learning letter sounds, simply make the sound
for those learning sentence structure, you could write out certain punctuation marks, say a sentence and have them jump to the appropriate mark that fits.
Have fun!
