Sound Hunt
Find three things in the house that start with the same sound.
No book needed for this one, the whole house is the game. Three minutes, zero prep, and a lot of running.
How to play
-
1

-
2

-

Walk behind them. Let them lead. Let them be wrong.

4
Count the pile out loud together as it grows.
Thinking up words, not just spotting them.
Here, your child has to do more than choose from what is already in front of them. They think of possible words, look around the room, and test each beginning sound. The running is what keeps it fun, and fun is what buys you repetition. Counting the pile together gives the hunt a finish line.
