Teaching my daughter her letters and numbers was a piece of cake. She knew all her letters and numbers by age 2 1/2. Boys are a little different. Each time I sit down with my 3 year old boy in a structured manner to learn, after about 10 seconds my little guy is distracted by something and disengaged.
I saw this fun homemade game online for sight words, and thought, why couldn’t I do this with letters and numbers?
I tried this game today and sure enough he loved it! All you need is paper, a pen/crayon/marker, tape and some matchbox cars. {What boy doesn’t have a bazillion cars lying around right!?}
I taped 2 pieces of paper sideways and one the other way. I drew a road, parking spots, and then numbered the parking spots A-F, and 1-7.
Tell your child, park your car in letter A and so on and so forth. Easy peasy!
Do you know of any other fun ways to teach little boys school? I’d love for you to share in the comments!
Thanks for visiting!
