Storytelling games
Encourage your child to create their own stories. Start with a prompt like “Once upon a time, there was a…” and take turns adding sentences. This helps them practise forming sentences and expands their vocabulary in a playful way.
Word association
Play a word association game where one person says a word, and the next has to respond with a related word (e.g., “dog” might lead to “bone”). This activity improves quick thinking and helps children see how words connect.
Imaginative Discussions
Ask fun “what if” or “would you rather” questions. For example, “What if animals could talk?” or “Would you rather fly or be invisible?” These questions encourage creative thinking and verbal expression.
Charades with Words
With just a few minutes each day, these activities can help your child develop stronger verbal skills while making learning fun and interactive.
Read Aloud Together
Take turns reading a book aloud. Pause occasionally to discuss new words or ask questions about the story. This not only improves comprehension but also boosts confidence in speaking.
