You Will Need:
Shaving cream, a tray and a ball are optional
Directions:
Explain to your child why it's important to learn your phone numbers. Try different techniques according to your child's learning style:
Sing the number: It can be to any tune that your child knows. E.g. To "Mary had a little Lamb," Sing, “888-4321, 4321, 4321, 888-4321, that’s our phone (cell or office) number.” Turn the phone number into a poem.
• Jumping and saying the numbers works well for active children.
• Writing the numbers in shaving cream works well for children who learn tactilely.
• Throwing a ball and saying the number works well for some children.
Tip:
Although learning the home phone number is important, it is more important for children to learn the phone numbers where parents can be reached during the day.
