Whose Name Is It?
ages 2-5
Supplies
Something to write with (pen, pencil, crayon, or marker) and something to write on (paper, Kid's menu, etc.)
Activity Detail
On a piece of paper, write the name of your child, a family member, friend, pet, favorite character from a book or TV show, etc. and ask your child to guess whose name it is. If she needs help you can give her clues (example: it is someone in your family, it's a girl, etc.). Be sure to talk about the sounds that the letters make. This activity has kept my daughter entertained while waiting for her food in a restaurant many, many times.
Comments
A great way to help children start to recognize words and letters!

This is truly an activity that can be done anywhere and any time! With an older child, you could even do the game without the pen and paper.
