It’s fun to look at family photos to inspire precious memories. See if your child can put the photos in chronological order!

~ 3 or 4 photos of a family vacation,

~ birthday party,
~ or other special event in your child’s life
~ table


Instructions:
~ Mix the photos up and set them on a table.
~ Ask your child to try to remember what happened first and have her choose the appropriate photo.
~ Then have her select the photo that represents what happened next.
~ Continue until she selects all the photos and places them in chronological order.
~ Have her tell the story of what happened from beginning to end, asking questions to help her remember more details.


Safety:
Tell your child to handle the photos carefully, or have copies made for her to use.

Learning Skills:
~ Classification skills
~ Cognitive/thinking skills
~ Fine motor development
~ Prereading skills
~ Sequencing/seriation
~ Social interaction


I have tried this with Jacob and he really enjoyed it on top of learning about extended family from both side side of our family. I enjoyed it myself, too! I suggest every Mom of 4-5 year old kids to try this game, you can do it as a family activity, too!
