Little Exercises

So, I got home from work yesterday as I went in for a couple hours and I decided to do some little learning games with the kids about colours and counting. So our first game was "Can you tell me where you see this colour?" I have this preschool book that I use and it has a page of colours, so I would point at a colour, name and spell it out then ask them where they saw it all over the house. We did this for at least 30 minutes and they enjoyed it very much and mashallah were very observant looking at very little detailed items that had the specific colour I would be talking about. And then we sat on my bed and looked out the window while we played a counting game using the preschool exercise book, I will inshallah scan the exercises that I use as I go that way whom ever likes them can get an idea of what to use. It's pretty amazing how you can make any type of activity a learning experience for children and myself! And they just absorb it all mashallah.
