Two things to do together today

At this age the Education Bureau's guide asks for play and everyday activities, not tests or repeated drills, so there is nothing to mark. Read the card, put the device down, and enjoy it together.

Early mathematicsAbout 3 minutes

Clap, stamp, clap

Clap, stamp, clap, stamp, slowly.
Stop and ask, 'What comes next?'
Swap, and let your child make a pattern for you.

Why this helps: A pattern you can hear is one a child can predict.

Works towards: Explores and copies patterns

EnglishAbout 4 minutes

A rhyme with actions

Choose a rhyme with actions, such as one about a spider or a bus.
Do the actions together while you sing.
Leave out the last word of a line and let your child fill it in.

Why this helps: Actions carry the meaning, so a child can join in before knowing the words.

Works towards: Enjoys English songs and rhymes

An account lets you keep a note of what you have done.

The Department of Health advises that children aged 2 to 5 spend under an hour a day on screens, with an adult. These cards are for you to read, then put away.
