Rules
Choose a game board (habitat): a farm, a forest, an ocean, a jungle
Find animals appropriate for each habitat and place them on a game board using velcro stickers
Share some details about an animal and ask the child to name the animal: the sounds it makes, the food it eats and where it lives
Make the game more interesting by placing appropriate animals on a habitat board and add one or two animals of another habitat, e.g. place forest animals and a giraffe on a forest board. Ask the little player to identify "the stranger" and to explain the choice
Guidelines for parents
While playing always use positive reinforcement, emotive words, various timbre of voice when showing different characters
Teach the little learner to finish an activity. If you notice that he/she is no longer interested in the assignment, finish it yourself but with the kids hand. Then compliment the child and let him/her go. It motivates assiduity.
Always remember to make the conclusion of the activity. Compliment the child for the great job he/she has done. Let the child know you are proud of him/her even if you haven’t done everything you’ve planned. You will make more progress next time
If you have such play time regularly (e.g. twice a week or more if the kid is interested), you will notice the progress. Even if the child is still little, with consistent plays he/she will soon get the rules and complete the task. The attention span and assiduity will improve, and he/she will learn to follow through the task and will definitely enjoy new assignments
