Subjects/Skills: Problem Solving, Observation
Materials Needed:
5 Building blocks or other toys
Directions:
Hide three blocks or other toys in your child's room. Ask your child to join you in a block hunt. Give instructions for finding the blocks. First, say all the instructions in sequence. For example, "Look under the bed to find a blue block. Look by the window to find a yellow block. Look near the truck to find a red block."
Ask your child to repeat the instructions back to you. Of course, he will probably have trouble remembering all the instructions in sequence. Talk about how the Dragon Tales friends had trouble remembering Woody the Door's instructions. Ask your child to think of a way he can remember your instructions.
Go over the instructions again, one at a time.
Encourage your child to find all the blocks. If he has trouble remembering the directions, give him clues to help remind him.
