Earlier this week Rachel saw that I had an Apples to Apples game and wanted to play! We took the game out and set it up. Hannah, Molly and Dylan were eager to play. We played with open hands and I read all the cards to each player. It was great to see how each child was able to associate their cards with the "green adjective card" For delicious Molly played "cucumbers" which is one of her favorite vegetables but Hannah's card, "glazed doughnuts" was the most appealing to Dylan. Each child loved being the "judge" and getting to pick which card fit the best. The game also enables each child to think about which card the "judge" would like best not just their own preferences. I could see their minds ticking as they picked each card it was fun for me to share my game with them! 
Wow! I would have never thought to play Apples to Apples with such young children. Kudos to you to seeing them as so capable!
ReplyDeleteHannah told me about the green cards today and how much she enjoyed playing!!
ReplyDeleteThat is fantastic! We are going to try playing at home.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a creative way to play with the little ones. We usually just let Rachel pull the card for "Mr. Nobody". This is so much more inclusive.
