Welcome back to this week’s “as you go learning” – simple and fun every day activities that kids can do and play AND which promote learning!
Today we are playing hopscotch! A brilliant all round game – of course there is counting, number recognition, but also hand eye co-ordination and agility. Wow. What an all rounder!
Use your own chalk to draw your hopscotch game on the pavement and your kids get to practice writing too. PERFECT I say!
No wonder it is SO popular! And the kids love love love to play! I remember this game fondly from my childhood.
Read more about it and how to play on Wikipedia Hopscotch.
Hopscotch is a great learning game! The best learning games are the ones that kids don’t even realize they are learning. I know I didn’t pay attention to that when I was a kid!
Thanks for sharing at The Sunday Showcase.
Oh yes, I agree, when they don’t know they are learning, they have such fun!
