I have been so upset over the situation with Zack and the kindergarten expectations that I decided that not only does Sophia have much to learn, but I demand that she have fun while doing it!!!!
I highly recommend a game call Frogger for the Playstation 2. It is not the Frogger we played in the 80s! As seen in the picture above it has a mat similar to Dance Dance Revolution. The game teaches kids ages 2-5 their colors, shapes, numbers, and helps them build eye foot coordination as well as large motor skills! This is not even touching the exercise aspects of the game.
I let Sophia play for an hour, and by the time she was finished she had learned triangle, yellow and blue all of which she had been having trouble retaining. I had fun playing along with her too so it was great quality time, and she wasn't stressed out by being "schooled". The cost was $34.95 with tax.
Look at her face - she was intent on getting the right answers!
She started out jumping all over the mat, but it did not take her long to figure out how to plant one foot and then use the other foot to step on the different shapes and colors.
She also got serenaded tonight! Auntie Gina got a new guitar, and she had great fun singing homemade songs to Sophia! Sophia could hardly contain herself. She wanted to play so badly!
So now I have Sophia playing Frogger and the boys having great fun with Rock Band! Of course, Zack will also benefit from Frogger when I can pull the drumsticks out of his hand!
Anyone else have ideas for making learning fun for preschoolers????

i wanna play hahahaha
Dude, that's a beautiful guitar! LOL
This is ringing in my mind:
"Select the R. Select the R. Select the R."
Memory games are good too. They seem to recall pictures better than words at least mine did, so she matched the cards and as she found them I repeated the words. It worked great with the ABC too.
That looks fun!! And learning should be fun!
