Take turns imagining what comes next in a story. Start a story, then pass it to your child to determine what comes next with a line such as, “and then...” You and your child can pass the story back and forth until it comes to an end.
Continued Weekly Activity
Did you eat any roots/leaves/stems today (for example, potatoes, lettuce or celery)? Talk about the parts of a plant with your child and discuss what kinds of plants they eat. Have your child draw a picture of their favorite plant that they eat.
