Let your child draw a face with details on a paper. Ask him/her what did they draw? Explain that

there are senses on their face. Tell your child that we all have eyes to see, a nose to smell, ears to

hear/listen, mouth to talk/taste/chew. This week we are talking about hearing.

Tuesday

Take three objects, two(spoon, cup and shoes) with sound and the one without any sound(sponge) ,

let your child see them. Ask your child to face the other way then make a sound with a spoon and a

cup and ask him/her what did you hear? Is it loud or soft? Then make a sound with the sponge. Ask

your child can he/she hear anything? Give your child sometime to think. Why is it not making any

sound? You can also use drinking glasses; 1 full of water, 1 half-filled and 1 empty. Use something

like a teaspoon to tap the side of each drinking glass. Let your child listen to the sounds and

discuss what they hear.

Wednesday

Talk about a square. Let your child describe a square, four corners, four equal sides, it can't

roll/bounce. When you fold a square once/in the middle what do you see? (2 rectangles) when you

fold a square twice then you get (4 small squares). Let your child draw a square and colour it in.

Thursday

Let your child tell you things that he/she can hear. Example: music from a bazooka speaker, birds,

music instruments, cellphone etc… Then give him/her a paper to draw them.

Friday

Physical activities:

• Help your to child to skip with any rope

• Bounce and catch a ball

Play boere sports:

Put 5 stones in a row, 1 meter away from each other including a bowl to put them in. (make crosses

where the stones are as they are going to put them back ) you can make more than 1 row so that it

is a competition and it is fun.

Let your child run and pick them up one by one putting them in a bowl.

When all the stones are in the bowl, then he/she must put them back on the crosses. Then his/her

siblings can also join in and have fun.
