Sahamamama Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 So far, I have these on hand to play next year for K & Tot School (2010): Candyland Chutes & Ladders Hi Ho Cherry-O Uno Skip-Bo Old Maid Go Fish Bugs Sort & Count Cooties (I hate this, but the girls love it...) Connect Four Memory Game Dominoes All Around the Farm Pattern Block Puzzles Puzzles Duplo Blocks Wooden Blocks Green Chip Mankala (homemade) Rainbow Frog Hop (homemade) Felt Shapes on Felt Board (homemade) Sort & Count Chick Peas Sort & Count Color Tiles Sort & Count Color Cubes Sort & Count Pom-Poms Sort & Count Buttons I'm not really thinking about hands-on activities (e.g., baking/cooking), but more along the lines of a game, puzzle, or sort & count. Although, I just remembered, I could set up a "store" and get some play money. That would be fun for all of us. They LOVE to play "Kitchen," so they would probably ADORE playing "Store." Any other ideas? :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 You can check out the book, "Games for math: Playful ways to help your child learn math from kindergarten to grade three." Your library may have it, and there's a lot of good ideas in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 What about tangrams? My DS is doing pre-K and he loves the Tangoes Jr. sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbsweetpea Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Here are a few things I can think of that we also have. These are games that have been played by my kids around age 4 and up. "Time Bingo" by Learning resources (even my 4 year old can play the hour and half hour side). , How about some file folder games for Skip Counting (2's, 3's, 5's and 10's) Numbers up to 150 They LOVE these two and it keeps them busy while I work with the other child. "Think Fun" Shape by shape game -tangram game http://www.amazon.com/Think-Fun-5941-ThinkFun-Shape/dp/B00000IRZ4/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1258259789&sr=8-11 "Mighty Mind" game http://www.amazon.com/MightyMind-40100-regular-Edition/dp/B00000K3XI/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1258259789&sr=8-16 This looks like fun too http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001DTKJWQ/ref=pd_luc_sim_01_02 My kids LOVE to play store with play money. I think that is a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
