You know who I love? All of you! Let’s celebrate LOVE this week! These activities are based on Every Child Ready to Read, which helps our friends learn pre-reading skills. We’ll cover Reading, Writing, Talking, Singing and Playing.
TALKING:
- Who do you love?
- What do you love to do?
- Where do you love to go?
- How much do you love yourself?
READING:
Read any book you have that mentions love! If you don’t have one, request one from the library! For recommendations, check out our February newsletter’s children’s section! We’ll also make a love book at the end.
SINGING:
Let’s sing Skidamarink! You can also learn it in Spanish.
Skidamarink a dinka dink. Skidamarink a doo. I love you!
Skidamarink a dinka dink. Skidamarink a doo. I love you!
I love you in the morning and in the afternoon.
I love you in the evening and underneath the moon.
Skidamarink a dinka dink. Skidamarink a doo. I love you!
PLAYING:
Cut out hearts and hide them around the house. Then have your child find all the hearts! Each heart can have a different thing on it that you love about them (your laugh, your love for Elmo, etc.). Then, have your child do the same for you – hide hearts around the house for you to find!
WRITING:
Make your own love book:
- Staple papers together and have each page represent a different thing you love.
- Write (or have your child write) what they love (I love Mom, I love coloring, I love lunch).
- Illustrate! Draw or cut out pictures for each page.
