Here's an easy and fun activity to do with your kids. This will teach them visual memory, sequencing and visualization skills!
Describe what you will bring to a picnic. Say each object in alphabetical order, A through Z, and repeat the entire list as you add your next item.
Sample instructions to your child:
Parent: I’m going on a picnic, and I’m bringing an apple.
Child: I’m going on a picnic and I’m bringing an apple and a banana.
Parent: I’m going on a picnic and I’m bringing an apple, banana and chocolate.
Child: I’m going on a picnic and I’m bringing an apple, banana,
chocolate, and donut.
Parent: I’m going on a picnic and I’m bringing an apple, banana, chocolate, donut, and an elephant!
And so on… Continue as far down the alphabet as you can!
You can also change the destination. You can say, “I’m going on a trip to the park," or zoo or any other destination that your child is familiar with!
