You can even cut out paper squares and write a note on them.
Materials: letters (Banana grams letters or other, or make squares of paper), plastic eggs, animal figurines (or pictures of animals if you don’t have small toys), a list of words: write them all down your pet names on a sheet of paper for reference.
Setup: Place each animal in a plastic egg with letters to spell out its name. Create a word list of all animal names.
How to play: Tell your child to open an egg and take out the letters and the animal inside. He must then reform the name of the animal using the letters. If they need help, younger children can look up the animal’s name on the word list.
2-Sound Eggs
This game is perfect for kids who are beginning to learn sounds. When choosing sounds, select very different sounds for beginners.
How to play: the child opens an egg and collects the paper inside. Ask the child to say the name in the picture and identify the starting sound. He must place the article in the correct nest. The game can be repeated multiple times using the same sounds or creating new sound categories. You can also reverse the game. It would be fun for kids to find pictures or word stickers based on the starting sound. Then they could ask someone else to play and then check their work.
3-Easter egg hunt
Here is a fun Easter egg hunt idea, where children must make words by matching the letters found. An ideal game for young children!
Material: foam letters(or create paper letters), plastic Easter eggs, paper and crayons or markers.
Setup: First, write a list of words related to a theme (like spring or toys): each word should have different letter colors. For example, if you write TREE, write it like this: A R B R E ! Use the colors of your foam letters: if an E is red, you will write an E in red on your word list. Write the words large enough that the children can then place the foam letters on top.
Then, for each word you wrote, place the foam letters aside. Then sort the foam letters by color into the plastic Easter eggs. Try to choose eggs that also match the colors of the letters.
All you have to do is hide the eggs in the play area!
How to play: Let the children go on a hunt to find the eggs. When they open them, they will discover an egg full of letters! Once all the eggs have been found, tell the children to sit down to make their spring (or another theme) words: they must place the foam letters in the correct places on the word list and then read each word. It’s a little egg hunt with a learning twist at the end that can be adapted to absolutely anything your kids are working on right now!
