Let’s Play & Learn

Firstly let’s write vowels – ‘a’ , ‘e’ , ‘i’ , ‘o’ , ‘u’ on these five circles and them tape them nicely on the floor.

You start this activity by saying words with short vowel sounds like – cat , pet , pin , dog , bug.

The child has to listen to the vowel sound in that word and jump to the particular vowel.

For ex- if you say the word – ‘cat’ then child has to jump on the ‘a’ circle and so on.

Kids really love this activity because there is a lot of running and jumping which naturally all kids love to do.
