Happy Give-And-Take Fun Alongside Chalk Painting

By lucky January 01, 2019 Edit

I'm going to survive honest alongside you... I don't dearest chalk. I ever seem to halt upwardly sitting inward it or getting it all over my hands or finding it dragged through my house.

My co-blogging buddy EJ ever comes upwardly alongside the coolest chalk activities though, thus I've been trying to modify my mental attitude a bit.

This by calendar week my 5-year-old was learning nearly curt u words together with my missy was exploring the alphabet, thus nosotros decided to practice some chalk ikon to deal us accept fun alongside letters together with words!

Supplies: For chalk ikon all you lot ask is a surface to write on (dark pavement is great), chalk, paintbrushes, together with a loving cup of water.

Directions:

First write out the words or letters you lot are studying on a apartment surface using chalk.

Then read the give-and-take (or letter), nation the give-and-take (or letter) aloud, together with and thus describe over it alongside a paintbrush dipped inward water.

My toddler loved watching her ABCs disappear together with my 5-year-old did his best to describe every letter.

This action gave us opportunities to utter about... concepts of print, missive of the alphabet formation, decoding strategies, together with beginning/ending sounds.

You tin too accept your tyke write their ain letters and/or words!

We too played a game where I would telephone band out the give-and-take together with my boy would accept to uncovering it together with pigment it.

Since my missy is merely learning the alphabet letters, I would merely nation the missive of the alphabet names together with sounds when she would select dissimilar letters to paint. If she painted Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 I would say, "Look you lot painted A! What audio does it make?"... or "A is at the inaugural of all of the give-and-take apple."

This elementary chalk action tin survive played in 1 trial again together with again.

We too purpose it to innovate novel words earlier nosotros read books alongside those words.
