1. Sand Letters
Take advantage of letter writing opportunities that come up during the day. When you and the child are at the beach, or in the backyard sandbox, practice writing letters in the sand. Show the child how to combine letters to write the names of familiar people.
2. Sequence Cards
Create uppercase letter cards using 26 3"x5" index cards. Write one letter of the alphabet on each card. Help the child sequence the letters in order from A to Z. After the child is comfortable sequencing the letters, play a letter game with the cards. Place any card on the table and ask the child to find the one that comes next, or the one that comes before your card.

5. Matching Game

Have the child match the uppercase letter with the lowercase letter. Once all the cards are matched, the child may put the cards in alphabetical order.

6. Memory Game
Using two identical decks of playing cards, select matching pairs of cards. For first-time players, begin with 10 pairs of cards. As the child becomes accustomed to playing and his or her attention span increases, add additional pairs of cards. Game Directions: This game can be played by 1 or more players. The goal of the game is to collect pairs of cards that are the same. Mix up the cards and spread them face down on a table. Player #1 turns over two cards. If they match, the player keeps the cards and takes another turn. If the cards do not match they are turned back over. When Player #1 does not make a match the play passes to Player #2. The game continues with each player taking a turn until all the cards have been matched. The player with the most pairs wins.
7. Classification
Take a walk to hunt for fallen leaves. Help the child sort the leaves into categories. For example, some may look like mittens, some may have pointed edges, some may have rounded edges, etc.
8. Sorting Game
Look for sorting opportunities in your everyday life. Ask the child to sort silverware into like groups. How many groups are there? Ask the child to describe how the groups were made. Are the large spoons with the small spoons, or did your child choose to make a separate grouping also based on size?
9. Block Party
While playing with colored blocks, help the child sort the blocks by size, shape, and color. For example, select all the large blocks, the large red blocks, the small blue blocks, etc.
