Fun Preschool Games For Your Children To Enjoy
By Rolf Joho
As kids are full of energy and love to play games there is no better way to spend quality time with them than by playing a fun game that has some educational value to it. Engage your child’s mind while helping to enforce basic abilities in a fun and exciting way for both you and your child to enjoy!
Try Out Different Versions Of Bingo
Start a round of Alphabet Bingo with your children. The boards have capital and lower case letters that will help your child build on their reading abilities through letter recognition and by saying the sounds that each letter on the board makes.
Another great form of Bingo is Colorful Shape bingo. This fun game for preschoolers is always a hit as children identify 8 different shapes in 11 different colors to win prizes.
For a bit of a challenge introduce your children to another language with Spanish Bingo. Each square has a picture in it and below the picture is its name in Spanish. It is never too early to introduce your child to another language and this fun game is a great way to do it!
Get Creative
And Make Your Own Fun Game
For this fun art project you will need to create cards that have a picture of one animal on each card with another card having a corresponding picture of its tracts. As the kids will be handling the set of cards that has the pictures of the animals on them consider using heavy duty paper or card stock and laminate them! Once the cards are made you will want to gather your children in a circle and capture their attentions by telling them a story about animals. You can create a story about visiting the zoo or about hiking in the mountains, just keep it interesting so you do not lose their attention. Give the children the pictures of the animals and then begin to tell the story. When you get to “bear” do not say the word but show them the tracks and let them find the pictures of the bear to match them. Feel free to give them a few hints or replicate a bear sound! This fun game will also help to encourage sharing and team work as the kids work together to pick the correct animal to match the tracks!
