SIMPLE WORD GAMES

The Sound Game Look out the window of the car, (or use a picture book on an airplane.) Have your child name items he sees, and then figure out what the first sound is.

The Alliteration Game This one can be funny. Find alliteration words for their name, or a friend's name. Make them as funny as possible. Or use names of animals. For example, "loud little Louie" or "silly Sammy Snodgrass" or "leaping Larry lizard." When your child gets the hang of it, they will take off on their own.

Straight Face This one can be veryfunny. One child is "it" and the others pick a phrase for him. Try "the cat's tail." The others ask him questions, and he must answer with "the cat's tail." Other children ask him questions like,

• What do you brush your teeth with?
• What is your favorite breakfast food?
• What would you write with?
• What do you comb your hair with?

When he laughs, it is someone else's turn to be "it." And you pick another phrase. Some phrases

• My monkey's moustache
• Six smelly sneakers
• The cat's tail
• Humpty Dumpty's hat
