The two games described below would help
to foster closer relationship between parents and the toddlers, in
addition to being educational to the young ones.
Animal Matching Game
This is a grouping game for parents and
child to play.
Materials
1. Cut out animal pictures from magazines and old picture books.
2. Get your child to group the animals that belong to the same
environment together, for example: farm animals versus jungle animals.
3. Write out fact cards for each group. For example, farm animals are
animals raised in the farm by people for food or work in the farm.
Jungle animals live freely in their own natural habitats.
Variations
pets versus wild animals, 2-legged animals versus 4-legged animals,
animals that live on land versus those that live in water, animals that
lay eggs versus animals that nurse that young.
I Spy Game
This is an activity your child will
definitely love.
Say to your child, "I can see something in blue", "I can see something
green", "I can see something that runs", "I can see something
rectangular in shape", "I can see something that chirps" and so on.
Then get your child to name what he thinks you are describing.
Reverse the roles and you can be the one guessing what your child is
describing.
This game can be played anywhere and anytime.
