Sometimes it’s hard to find time to squeeze in all of the lessons that we would like to teach our children in one day. A good way to take advantage of “dead” time is while you are out driving around. Instead of turning on a DVD player for your child to mindlessly vegg out on, go over memory lessons with him. Some things I’ve practiced with my preschooler while driving are:
AGE 2-3:
ABC’s
Counting 1-20 (Eng. and Spanish)
Colors in Spanish
Days of the week
Months of the year
Reciting child’s full name, and parent’s full names
Quoting Scripture Memory Verses
AGE 3-4:
Naming the Presidents (1-10)
Simple Math (Addition/Subtraction)
Counting 1-100
Counting by 10’s
Counting by 5’s
Naming the Continents
Naming what Continent she lives on
Naming what state she lives in
Reciting Her Home Address and Phone Number
More Scripture Memory Verses
Naming the Four Seasons
Naming and Discussing the 5 Senses
Practicing Spanish Phrases
And it’s always fun to sing with your child (without the radio)!!
