A Leafy Game
Are you looking for a way to wear out your child?? What if I told you I have a game that will wear them out AND help them learn their colors? If this interests you, then this game is for you! Here’s what you’ll need:
*leaves (3 or more different colors or kinds)
*tubs
*timer (optional)
I chose these 3 colors/shapes. I put one color in each tub and had a tub full of the 3 types of leaves.
This game involves running and it’s almost like a relay race. I put this bucket of leaves on one side of the room and on the other side were the 3 other tubs. His job was to choose one leaf, run across the room to the 3 tubs and sort it into the correct tub. Then run back and do the same thing until all the leaves were gone. He could only do one leaf at a time. We decided to use a timer it to make it fun and exciting.
Whew, Troy got a good workout in! It took him around 2 minutes each time to do it and he was running the whole time! Then Troy had this brilliant idea for me to try it (and dad). Made for a fun family event before bed.
Even little brother helped out.
Give this game a try! You don’t have to use leaves, but anything that they can sort out by color, shape or size.
It also gives the idea of using your natural resources that are around you .i think i will try this activities with my children.
the idea is so brilliant come to think about children that need to be occupied and at the same time they are learning
