Helfa Gair/Word Hunt

Another idea stolen from the fantastic Imagination Tree blog. I wrote the names of objects on various items around the garden in chalk. Then I told the kids to go and find all 15 objects and write them down. They loved it! The original idea is to give your child a different coloured chalk so they can copy over the words - this would be perfect for preschoolers. As mine were a bit older I wanted them to write the words independently. An easy peasy way to get the kids practicing their reading and writing!
