Family Activities

• We turn the pages of the book together. Which character resembles us today, and how? We may find that the character we identify with changes every time we read the book.
• How are we similar and different from the rest of our family? On a large canvas, we can glue a picture of each family member. We draw or remove pictures from magazines and newspapers of things or activities that we share, such as food we all enjoy, or a place we like to visit, and stick them on the canvas. In addition, we draw or search for pictures that express the difference between us, such as: preference for quiet or noise, sleeping early or staying up late, etc.
• We can play the game of opposites: we say an adjective aloud, such as: fast, cold, etc. and our child should say the opposite of the word. We can discover that a word may have more than one opposite!
• We can stand with our child in front of the mirror and explore our similar features. Do we have the same eye-color? Or maybe the same eyebrow shape? We take turns creating and mimicking funny facial expressions. Which expressions made us laugh the most?
• We can play the game "Imitate Me": we sit in a circle, and the first player has to make a certain move. The second player imitates them if he likes the move, and if he doesn’t like it, he makes a new move, and so on. What moves do all the players like?
• Enjoy reading!
