HOME TASK IDEAS
Here are some quick, educational and fun HOME TASK IDEAS for your kids while they are being educated at home. I hope these help!
-
Using images online, photos or pics from old magazines, have your child make a scrapbook about anything they are interested in. Add captions and labels.
-
On the computer or in a note pad, have your child write a journal, expressing their thoughts and feelings at this time or simply writing stories.
-
Scribe stories for a child not yet reading, and have them add illustrations. Encourage them to read the stories back to you.
-
Read, read, read together! Take time to stop and discuss pictures, words and concepts as you read together.
-
With a pack of cards (or two die), flash up two cards, e.g. 4 and 5. Say, 'Add, subtract or multiply' depending on the age of your child.
-
Write a list of numbers for your child. Have them order these from smallest to largest. Choose numbers based on your child's ability level.
-
Have your child design and make a board game. Ensure they plan first and then construct. Play the game together!
-
Have your child write a book review of their favourite book.
- List all the words a writer could use instead of 'said'. Read a book together replacing 'said' with one of those words.
- List ten nouns for your child and have them add two to four adjectives in front of the word, e.g. 'apple'; 'red, juicy, delicious apple. To extend, they could write a sentence, e.g.
'The red, juicy, delicious apple went crunch as I took my first massive bite!'
