This is a fun game for the car or when you have a few moments of spare time. While your child may think it's all fun & games they will  pick up some new vocabulary and practice visual discrimination and attention to detail in the process.

All you do, in this simple game, is to name what you see. For instance, if you're in the car you would take turns as follows:

"Steering Wheel"

"Seats"

"Radio"

"Glove Box"

"Odometer"

"Odometer? What's an Odometer?"

Now you have the opportunity to painlessly and pleasantly add new words to your child's vocabulary! As always, ever-so-much more fun that worksheets!
