.
Materials: balls, index cards (or slips of paper), writing utensil
- Have your child brainstorm several body parts
- Have your child write each body part down on a separate index card while they identify each letter being written
- Have your child choose one card out of the pile, have them provide the initial sound (/f/ for foot), final sound (/t/ for foot) and sound out the entire word, and have them show you that part of their body
- Starting at one end of the room have your child/children race from one end to the other using only the chosen body part to move the ball. For example, if your child picks out the card that says “finger”, they must crawl across the floor, only using their finger to nudge the ball.
- Repeat with each body part that is selected
- Enjoy!
