We LOVE to play Twister... she doesn't really get all the rules, but we still have a blast.. you can practice body parts and colors.



My daughter loves to do mazes (not an interactive game, but nothing makes her happier... we buy the Kumon brand books... I've bought "Easy Mazes" more than three times.. there's also ones you can download off the internet for free.. maybe someone has a good link for easy ones.. I haven't found any simply ones like the Kumon Easy Mazes book. Helps them develop pencil skills.



Finger painting. Again, not a game... but everyone can have fun.



We do play a lot of hide-and-seek. We "play" ring-around-the-rosy constantly... even go to trampolines and play it.



My daughter is 2 1/2 and besides imaginative play (which I do with her all day long) we don't play structured "games" per se. When I say imaginative play, I mean we go to the forest and pretend leaves are fish and they swim on the trail and we tell each other what kind of fish the leaves are (eucalyptus leaves are often norwahls, madrone leaves are palette tangs, etc) We pick up sticks and pretend they are fishing poles. There's a little tree that we've placed a smooth, flat rock by and we call it the fairy tree. We bring the fairies gifts of licon, moss, ferns, little rocks, leaves and we sit and have pretend tea by the "table" beneath the fairy tree. I have a bug catcher and we look at bugs and leaves and things in it. We pretend the dog is a swamp ghost (from Lu and the Swamp Ghost) and we run from bridge to bridge (they're the "safe" zone, the swamp ghost can't get us there. Or we pretend our friend who sometimes walks with us is a landshark and she can't get us when we're on the "pontoon boat" (a raised trail.) It goes on and on.... a different adventure nearly every day and sometimes the same adventures.. she chooses the characters and I help build the drama. And we learn what the 'actual' names of the trees, leaves, grasses, ferns, bugs, wildflowers are along the way. We go to a local stables a few times a week and at this point the stable manager lets her help feed one of the horses and prepare the horse's food for the next day. Some of the owners will walk her around the stable yard bareback while I hold her arm and leg. We count horses, stable cats, flags, learn the different parts of the horse's gear (bridal, bit, etc.)



We sing the ABCs every day, at least once, and we usually have a "letter of the day" where we draw the letter, identify it by sight, talk about words that start with that letter throughout the day, look for the "big" letter and the "baby" letter in the signs we pass.



We play red light, green light.



We play with bubbles.



We count everything and then we count it again.



We draw with sidewalk chalk (though I find, increasingly, she tells me what to draw and then she makes what ever I drew throw up or poop. She was sick recently... I guess that's where that came from???)



We play with duplos (fine motor skills) and doodle boards (fine motor, pencil skills) and lately I've started a game when we're coloring where I draw shapes and letters on the top of the paper and draw the same shapes and letters in a different order at the bottom of the paper and she draws a line and connects the matching shapes/letters.



Lately she's developed a strange fascination with cars, so she calls out every car we pass by when we're walking (and sometimes driving) based on the logos. At first I thought it was strange, but then I realized it could be a good preperatory exercize for sight identification of letters (what's a letter but a symbol. what's a car logo, but a symbol.. and most of them have letters in the symbols.. the H is for Honda, the L is for Lexus, etc.)



We spend several hours, nearly every day, hiking. I can't tell you how much this has fostered her imagination and love of nature. We "toddler hike" so we take it slow and leave an agenda at home.

Anything can be a game. Whatever you're doing.. have fun.. it's more important than discipline. Follow her lead.. if she picks up a worm, after she's sleeping at night, search the web, find some neat facts, tomorrow draw a worm, talk about the kind of worm, name the worm, talk about what it eats, get a stuffed worm, make a stuffed worm, spell out worm and talk about the letter "W" and how it kind of looks like a wiggly worm, pretend to be worms, buy a book about snakes (Verdi is a good one) or worms (Richard Scarry's Early Bird would be fun)... watch what she's interested in, pick up on it and run with it.. the possibilities are endless. Then start matching games with the things she knows... Have her tell other people about worms and gauk at what a smarty she is. You get the picture.
