Who wouldn’t love to learn if we could do it by playing games instead of only reading books? SchoolhouseTeachers.com understands the benefit of games in relation to learning. Pre-K Activities: Read and Play combines Sarah Gilbert and Wendy Woerner’s love of books with children’s love for play. After reading a story together, children and their parents can participate in a wide variety of activities to enhance learning. For example, after reading A Chair for My Mother, preschoolers can begin keeping coins in a money jar, take a trip to the furniture store, learn about fire safety, and discuss ways to help those in need. Teresa Evans has created Everyday Games to help children improve their skills in math and phonics. The games are simple to prepare and use but are of a high educational value. Games focus on such things as prefixes, compound words, factors, multiples, addition, subtraction, and more.
