There are lots of fun everyday activities that help to develop understanding of short sentences.
Hiding an object game – Using a selection of four everyday objects, ask your child to hide one of the objects in one of two chosen hiding places e.g. hide the spoon in the cupboard.
Tidying the table – Let your child help with clearing the table e.g. “Bring Paul’s cup”.
Sorting washing – Let your child help with sorting the washing e.g. “Give me daddy’s socks”.
Cleaning game – Your child cleans the furniture or household items e.g. “Brush the floor”.
Action game – Ask your child to go to various places in different ways e.g. “Hop to the table”.
If your child is doing well here, try activities to build understanding of longer sentences.
