Who knew some colored circles cut from construction paper would be so much fun! My son, B, loved playing games with these circles today. We used them in a variety of ways, such as:
Hopping like a kangaroo from circle to circle, naming the colors as he went.
Playing "Mommy Says" (like "Simon Says") - Mommy says put the blue circle on your head, Mommy says put the orange circle on your knee, Mommy says jump on the black circle, Mommy says crawl over to the red circle, etc.
Stepping on each circle, and counting how many there were.
Handing him the circles, letting him name each one, and put them out around the room.
Collecting the circles, counting them as we picked them up.
There are so many fun things we can do with these circles, and it's an activity that cost practically nothing! It is so windy outside today, yet this activity got us moving - jumping, crawling, hopping, etc. It helped B to practice his counting and color recognition, but was fun, and he probaby didn't even recognize he was learning!
Have a great weekend!
