Write the Living Room

The other day, we did a fun little activity to practice word recognition, handwriting, and more: Write the Living Room!

It was easy to set up, there was no mess, it was easy for my kindergartener to do, it got her moving around, and she had fun doing it! A win all around 🙂

How to Write the Living Room

I stuck the word cards to the matching items in our living room with sticky tape. I only used the English words this time, but you could go with the German words or mix and match.

I put her sheet of paper on a clipboard to add extra interest, because E loves those things 🙂 I also numbered the lines on the paper to allow her to see easily how many cards were left in the living room.
