Last week we shared ideas about how to modify our Centsible Kids game, and with the modification seed planted in our brains, we've decided to continue with a spring bent on it....
An Easter egg or basket hunt!
1. You are providing the pattern of definitions. Stating the category (plant) and important attributes (lots of buds, short) as well as function, are the keys to clear definitions.
2. Children have to listen to longer pieces of information. Since the hunt is motivating, children will listen to more complex bits of information.
For children who are able to read, you can put clues inside the eggs to lead them through the hunt. Again, descriptive language can be a nice challenge for any child - typically developing or with language learning issues. As older kids start to lose interest in the hunt, engage them in creating and giving clues to the younger ones.
Whatever your traditions are at this time of year, a treasure hunt outside can be great fun!
