Activity 1: DIY Telephone Can you make your own telephone?
All you need to do is paint or decorate two plastic cups. With help poke a hole in each of them, and thread string through the bottom. You can experiment with various speaking activities but we recommend the old school game of telephone where you whisper to each other and pass the message around.
Activity 2: With your family can you play the game ‘Simon Says’? See how good your listening skills are. Elect someone to be ‘Simon’. Simon will call out commands. If Simon begins the sentence by saying “Simon says…” then everyone is required to do the action. If he does not begin with “Simon says…” then the players are not allowed to do the action. |
