Reading Race Track

Got a fidgety little one you're trying to teach? Struggle no more. Just grab a piece of paper and send your little guy to get his favorite toy car. By the time he gets back, you can have this quick and simple "race track" ready to go! Learning accomplished... even if it was a little sneaky;)




You can find this idea and more in one of my favorite books, Games for Reading: Playful Ways to Help Your Child Read by Peggy Kaye.

Money War!

Money War is a go to favorite in our house for teaching younger children the names of coins and their values. This competitive game is also helpful in teaching greater than and less than concepts. For better retention, be sure to have the children say the name and value of the coins on the cards as they flip each one over.
