Each calendar week nosotros squad upward amongst some of our blogging buddies to part activities that assist us Move & Learn together.

This calendar week I am sharing a uncomplicated turkey alphabet race game that is perfect to play if yous convey whatsoever extra fourth dimension indoors this calendar month or demand a fun vacation activeness to forcefulness out off some energy. We used Alpha-Bits cereal to assist us practise alphabet missive of the alphabet recognition spell also working on residuum in addition to hand-eye coordination.

I was sent 2 boxes of Alpha-Bits cereal for us to banking concern check out in addition to usage equally nosotros created in addition to played this month. My kids aren't huge cereal lovers, though snack on it from fourth dimension to time, but were super excited to acquire their hands on this cereal in addition to variety the cereal letters, brand words, in addition to spell their names.

My kids are also pretty picky eaters, hence I am a fan of snacks that they volition consume that are salubrious in addition to give them some extra nutrients. Alpha-Bits cereal has 20g of whole grains in addition to 12 essential vitamins in addition to nutrients per 30g serving. My boy was loving it hence much he was 2 handing the cereal equally he shoved it in. Ha!

The kids snacked in addition to played amongst the cereal for a piddling spell in addition to and hence nosotros created our Turkey Alphabet race game using some quick in addition to tardily materials nosotros had around the house.

Here are the materials nosotros used...

Alpha-Bits cereal
several little bowls
two larger bowls (or i for each player)
two spoons (or i for each player)
brown in addition to white structure paper
markers
double-sided tape
scissors
alphabet stickers

Directions:

Ahead of fourth dimension I created some turkey bodies to stick onto the little bowls. Each turkey had an alphabet letters stuck on it. I cutting turkey heads from chocolate-brown newspaper in addition to and hence taped on a one-half circle of turkey feathers to each one.

Once the piddling turkeys were created, I stuck them amongst record to the colorful bowls in addition to placed them across the room from 2 larger bowls filled amongst Alpha-Bits cereal in addition to spoons.

To boot off the game, each modest looked at the turkey bowls across the room in addition to decided which missive of the alphabet they wanted to hunt for. Then they grabbed their spoons when I said "GO!" in addition to and hence picked upward i (or more) alphabet letters in addition to and hence tried to race across the room to driblet the letters inwards the properly marked bowl.

The kids tried to endure genuinely careful hence that they wouldn't driblet the cereal when they were racing... but if they did they simply ate it in addition to started over again.

It was cute to sentry equally the kids worked together to assist each other fill upward up the bowls for each letter. Although this was a race, nosotros didn't become far real competitive. The kids had a lot of fun, burned off some energy, in addition to skillful missive of the alphabet recognition all at the same time.

Learning through Movement

This activeness was perfect for my almost 3-year-old who is of a abrupt interested inwards letters. Since this was a a variety of matching game (match the cereal Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 to the bowl amongst an Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 on it) it was pretty tardily for her in addition to involved a piddling visual discrimination... which is genuinely an of import science to function on equally yous are helping kids acquire cook to read. I didn't drill her on the missive of the alphabet cry or sound, but occasionally would comment that she was belongings the missive of the alphabet Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 or had simply seat a missive of the alphabet B inwards the bowl.

For Older Kids

My almost 6-year-old already knows his alphabet letters in addition to sounds genuinely well, hence spell nosotros played this game nosotros talked a flake nearly words that started amongst the alphabet letters. For illustration if he said he'd constitute a B cereal piece, in addition to hence I'd say, "ball starts amongst a B, tin lavatory yous intend of whatsoever other words that outset amongst a B?"

Connecting amongst Kids

Moms are e'er talking nearly how they want they had to a greater extent than character fourth dimension to pass amongst their kids. This was a uncomplicated xv infinitesimal (or less) activeness that nosotros did the other twenty-four hours that made me experience similar we'd connected. I played the racing game equally good in addition to nosotros worked together in addition to simply had fun. Because I simply mentioned the letters (instead of acting similar I was quizzing the kids) at that topographic point wasn't whatsoever describe per unit of measurement area to perform in addition to the kids didn't experience on edge. I also loved cheering for them spell I watched from fourth dimension to fourth dimension too.

I thought that using the Alpha-Bits cereal was such a keen agency to brand our afternoon snack fourth dimension fun in addition to educational.
