SORTING LIKES AND DIFFERENCES
This is one of my favorite games to play with preschoolers.
It helps develop wonderful thinking skills.
|
 |
Find 3 objects that are alike in some
way, such as, the same color, the same size, the same
shape, and the same type of object. |
|
Then, find one that is different. |
|
Set out the four objects and have
your child find the one that is different. |
Sometimes your child will pick one that is not
the one you had intended as the different one.
However, upon questioning her, she has a valid reason why
this one is different and the others are the same. If they
can explain their reasoning, accept their answer. This is
a great game to teach children how to look at all characteristics
of an object, and how to see that objects can fall into different
categories.
