Body Parts

We started to look at the last list of our body parts and Kai learnt it as his spelling. We have fun looking for all the words through crossword puzzle that I created through the internet and also crossword puzzle where Kai filled in the blanks using sentences to help him make up the word for each blank.

We were trying to make learning of spelling fun for him so that he could enjoy it. And his favourite game to learn spelling is still hang-man.

More about body parts

After coming back from our long walk, Kai requested that he wanted to watch Roary and Curious George. We spent about 30-45 minutes watching the two cartoons before moving on to look at more about our body parts.

Kai was keen to play hangman game on our body parts and we spent time reviewing the last list before moving on to learn the new list. He loves singing so we spent time singing some of the songs we have learnt. It was fun working on action songs.

Then we have alot of fun playing hangmen learning the new word list. And form sentences with the words.

Our body parts...

We have been discussing about our body parts and learning about them. Kai knows all of them when he was about 2 years old and we did an exercise on naming all the body parts where he matched the words to the parts. And he could match all of them correctly so I challenge him to master all the spelling of the words.

Kai emjoys songs, so we sang the song "Head and Shoulder, Knee and Toe" while learning about these words. And we sang alot more songs. (Lyrics of songs)

Kai was happy to learn and master the words for Spelling.
