Activity for Education

   The participants of the game compose the history and stick stickers on the playing field. There can be many options. Here is an example of the beginning of the story at this game. The first participant (until the kids learn, the adult starts):
   Once upon a time a brother and a sister lived in a village. They loved their garden and work were working there much through the day. The children were not lazy, they always weeded and watered the garden in time. They even had a tractor. Let's take the sticker with a tractor. We stuck it. The guys had grown a great crop. Huge cabbage adorned the beds. Stick the sticker with a cabbage. And now, kids, tell me what the children has grown at their kitchen garden.
   The adult should help the children if they have difficulties during the game. It has to become a good moment for adding new words into kids' lexicon. You can suggest an appropriate word, or offer options for the plot. It is not necessarily to use all the stickers. The main thing is to get an interesting story to fun and educate kids.
You can continue this game using the puzzle. Participants of the game one after another describe any fruit (looks like, where it grows, color, shape, size, etc.). Other participants have to guess what it is. They can use the ticker.
   There is the other variant of the puzzle. One of the participants of the game chooses the picture of some fruit or object. But he/she does not announce it. The other participants ask him any questions. And he/she can only answer "yes" or "no." For example: Does it grow? Is it green? So they have to determine the object chosen by their friend and show it on the sticker.
   One more kind of the puzzles you can use working with the set of books with reusable stickers. Encourage your kids to remember the location of the stickers. Then ask them to turn away or close their eyes. Now you change the places of any two stickers (the more complex version – to put a sticker to another location on the playing field). Will the kids find the changes? Which of them will be the first? Encourage him/her to become the leading of the game, now let him/her to make his/her riddle for the others.
