Papa's Animal Game

I must commend my hubby for being a wonderful playmate to our children. He may seem quite dull and boring sometimes but he is able to come up with fun and educational "games" for the children at times. On a particular day, there was a moment of staleness as Reuben played with his usual animal figurines. His papa decided to take out the animal flash cards from the shelf and got him to match the animals figurines to the pictures in the flash cards. Learning points for Reuben:

1) Training Reuben's eyes to search amidst of all the many figurines

2) Recalling the animal names

3) Verbalising animal names

4) Eye and fingers coordination during matching

5) Scrutinising animal features (esp. for animals that have almost similar features e.g. donkey and horse, gorilla and monkey)

Well done, papa. Play more with the children! (^_^)b

Reuben is a neat boy. After playing, he will keep his toys. He is saying "bye bye" and "see you tomorrow" to his animals while putting them back into the container :)
