Christmas game to boost language
👀 I Spy Christmas Tree 👀
This perfect game to play this season that will BOOST your child’s language! 👌🏻
Pick a decoration but don't share it out aloud! Take turns to give each other clues about your chosen decoration, describing key details i.e., shape, colour, size, texture, material, location on the tree.
This simple game will:
🎄expand vocabulary
🎄develop listening / attention skills
🎄work on following instructions
🎄practise taking turns and sharing ideas
Children who have language delays or difficulties will often rely on hook phrases or non specific words i.e., “I like that, this one, I want that, over there.” Looking at the makeup of these little phrases, there’s so much rich information being missed!!
If we use more specific detail by describing exactly what we see, this helps increase our child's vocabulary, helping them to use more detailed information in their sentences, resulting in clearer and more meaningful communication being shared! 🎁🎄👏
