My kids can spend hours just talking into a tape recorder. They make all sorts of funny interviews, silly sounds and the most amusing songs. I think they love listening to themselves more than making the tape! Give them some blank tapes and let the fun begin. Be sure to put a couple away for safe keeping. You will be surprised to find how fun it is to listen to those homemade tapes years later!
This week, try letting your children give themselves their spelling test. Have them record the words slowly, making sure to pause between each word. Make sure you let them practice with it before they take the real test. When they are ready, turn on the tape recorder and start the test.
