How to play
Inside the kit, you’ll find four main games themed around the seasons, which can be adapted to suit different ages and ability levels:
The morphosyntactic bingo
Each child receives a board with pictures; the adult reads out sentences describing the images, and the children must identify and cover the corresponding image on their own board. Objective: to stimulate listening skills and language comprehension.
The 10Feet Game
Children roll a die and must build the number shown using coloured feet pieces. Objective: to support counting skills and the understanding of quantity–number correspondence.
The Invent-a-Dish Kitchen
Children draw cards with ingredients, actions, and utensils, then invent their own recipe. Objective: to stimulate storytelling and enrich language skills.
The Treasure Hunt
Following clues, children search for objects or complete small challenges. Objective: to develop memory, attention, and problem-solving skills.
Each game can be easily included in teaching plans. For each game, the following details are provided:
For every game, alternative activities are also suggested, using the materials provided in the kit.
