Download our letter to you with tips and suggestions for extending this week’s activities with your family. Have a great week!
Welcome to Fun and Games! We’ll provide five days of reading and learning activities designed to engage your child in an exploration of sports, games, and having fun.
Reading Monday
It’s Monday, so let’s read about different sports!
Play Ball!
Let’s play ball! Can you play softball, football, soccer, or tennis?
- Download Play Ball!
Discuss the book: What do you need to play football? What does Zack do when he plays volleyball? What do you need to play tennis?
Media Tuesday
It’s Tuesday, so let’s watch a video!
Roberto Clemente
Watch the video Roberto Clemente to learn more about a baseball player who helped others.
Discuss the video: Where was Roberto Clemente born? What kinds of things did he do for children who didn’t have much money?
Writing Wednesday
It’s Wednesday, so let’s write!
Write About Sports
Although many sports are played with balls, many are not. Make a list of sports that do not use any kind of ball (e.g., swimming, running, etc.). Write or dictate to finish this sentence:
I think it would be fun to be good at _____.
