Letter Hop!

We've been working on teaching Liliana her letters.  So far, we've gone on an ABC Hunt, stamped letters, dug through rice to find them and went fishing for them.   She's been pointing out more and more letters to us every day, so something is connecting!  The gorgeous weather today brought out a new game:  Letter Hop!!!

I wrote down a few letters she knew and a few she didn't on our driveway with sidewalk chalk.  I say the letter, she finds it and hops on it. 

Perfect way for my active girl to learn!

After awhile, I had her announce the letter so she could practice saying their names.  It's one thing to recognize it when it's said, it's another to be able to say it yourself!

"Hmm....which one of these is B again?  I think you're going to have to show me Liliana!"

The letter hop was so much fun, it brought about the addition hop for Micah.  Wrote down numbers, gave him an addition problem, and he hopped on the answer. 

Liliana was determined to beat him to the answer, but she didn't have a clue where she was running!

He lost interest fairly quickly.  I think next time I'll have him shoot the answer with a water gun.  Boys rarely lose interest if there is shooting involved.  :-)
