I Spy Letter Game


Do you have the big foam letter puzzle??   I am so thankful to have them because we use them for so many  fun activities.  Here is another alphabet lesson that my daughter and I did last year.  


For this activity I let my daughter put the letter pieces where ever she wanted.  She thought she was just making a really big hop scotch game.  I did let her play some hop scotch but then we also did "I Spy."   I really wanted to see how well my daughter would recall her letters when the letters were not in order.  I was happy how she recalled her letters.  :)  

If you have never played "I spy" then let me share it.  I would say, "I spy with my little eye the letter B"  I would then allow her to find it but if I noticed her searching I would sometimes give her a clue to help find it faster, "I spy the letter B and it is the color purple."  

We also did some color jumping.  :)  "Jump on the color red 6 times."  The change the color and the number of times you jump or the action.  You can use actions such as jumping jacks, leg kicks, or even a burpee.  :)

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way. Scared is a feeling that can be hard to face, but if we listen to it, we can learn things about ourselves. In  God, I Feel Scared , children will discover that it’s okay to be scared and that God is with us in all things, including fear. With simple, accessible text, scared becomes an emotion that kids don’t need to avoid and instead something they can use to better understand themselves and grow closer to God. The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way.
