Spell a simple three letter word with plastic letters on the floor.
Then do some sort of activity associated with the word.
Run - Run around the room.
Frog - Hop like frogs. What is my son doing?????
You could also try
HAT - put on lots of hats
PEN - go get a pen
JOG - jog around the room
HOP - hop on one foot
BUN - pretend to be a hotdog bun and get eaten
When the three letter words are mastered the game can progress into more difficult words such as JUMP, SKIP and PLANT. It can keep progressing to add silent E and then still more difficult words.

I like this one! My son has trouble holding still, this will be great for him :) where did you get those large letters? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThe large letters came from my 90 year old grandfather. He must have purchased them years ago. I bet they're 30 years old.
