I stumbled across these cute
word cards to go with Laura Numeroff's
If You Give A Mouse A Cookie (the
collection is worth having; it even has an audio cd so you can listen to the stories on the go). There are also some domino cards and other activities listed there, but I thought since all of the words are things commonly found in homes, it would be fun to have a scavenger hunt. Pretending to be the mouse means you won't have to go looking for any mice (unless you're into that, then go for it, but they make me squeal and jump up on chairs). The word cards have both words and pictures so this is great for readers and pre-readers alike. To make it more challenging for your older child, have them try to find the items in alphabetical order!
Other activities to do with this book:
- make some cookies! while they are baking,
- get out some brooms and sweep up, or mop! and then,
- draw a picture of your family and hang it on the refrigerator
Enjoy!
