Guess Who Games Help Build your Child’s Vocabulary of Adjectives - Here’s How.
Let's talk about Guess Who—a game that's not only loads of fun but also packs a punch in terms of learning and skill-building for your elementary school kiddos.
Many therapists love incorporating this game into their sessions, whether it's speech/language or occupational therapy. But guess what? You can easily bring all that therapeutic goodness right to your kitchen table.
Here are some awesome ways you can use Guess Who to help your child grow and learn:
Social Participation: This game is like a ticket to improving communication skills! By asking questions back and forth, your child gets to practice engaging with others and feeling comfortable in conversations. If your little one feels a bit nervous, no worries! Give them some prompts to boost their confidence and get the chatter flowing.
Handwriting: Who knew Guess Who could also be a handwriting workout? Encourage your child to write out their questions, descriptions, or opponent's responses. Not only does this help with penmanship, but it also flexes those cognitive muscles as they strategize their moves.
Negation: Get ready to flip the script! Instead of just asking questions, try describing your character by what they're not. It's a fun twist that keeps the game fresh and challenges your child's deduction skills.
Descriptive Vocabulary: Time to get descriptive! Guess Who is a goldmine for building up your child's vocab. If they need a little boost, brainstorm some descriptive words together before the game starts and make a handy reference chart. Pictures or words—whatever works best!
Question Formation: From "Is your person a boy?" to "Does your person have blue eyes?", this game is a playground for practicing question-making skills. It's like a mini language lesson disguised as fun!
Articulation: If your child is working on their speech sounds, Guess Who is a secret weapon. Whether it's practicing the /s/ or /r/ sounds in questions or comments, there are tons of opportunities to sneak in some speech practice while having a blast.
What you will find in this workbook?
This workbook holds 12 activities to give your child opportunities to develop the skill of using adjectives to articulate information in the form of sentences, paragraphs and essays and, ultimately. analyzing and discerning the world around him/her.
I have found that , as a third grade teacher, I notice many students are ‘stuck’ when it comes to be able to describe a scene, a person, an adventure that they have been on in their own lives other than in very BASIC terms. I want to help your child become a better writer but also be able to really deepen their understanding and awareness of all of the amazing discoveries and opportunities they can have the chance to experince in life.
I truly hope you will find value in the pages of this workbook. DOWNLOAD HERE
