(3) Cases for Game Modes with a Single Pointer Name the Household Product
(Identifying household items, for ages 3 ~ 3 1/2) Please help the child identify the names and uses of various common household products. Suitable Age: 3 ~ 3 1/2 years old Main Objective: To identify the names and uses of common household products. Secondary Objective: To encourage logical thinking and verbal expression in the child. Illustrations: Mug, tissue paper, truck, brush, glass bottle, rope, paper box, baseball bat. Game Guidance: 1. First, without disclosing the names of the illustrations to the child, allow him or her to try to figure them out through experience. 2. Once the child is familiar with all the names and illustrations, spin the disc until it stops and points at a picture. The adult can then proceed with simple questions, for instance, “What is the name of this object? Where have you seen it before? What is it used for? How is it used? Can you think of other ways it can be used?� If the child has yet to fully develop verbal skills, the adult can use physical motions to demonstrate and encourage further expression from the child. Additional Activities: 1. Charades: Spin the disc to begin the game. Once it stops, let the child try to act out the designated object and have you guess which object he or she is trying to describe. Switch roles every so often to let the child have a chance at guessing as well. 2. Memory Game: Let the child try to remember as many pictures or items on this game as he or she could. When ready, cover the objects up with a towel while adding or removing a new item, and reveal the new setup to the child to let them guess what has changed. 3. You can also collect several common household items and place them in a bag or a box to let the child try and guess their identity by feeling their shape and texture.
