How to play: Create a simple map with numbered clues or shapes. Children follow the map, counting steps or matching shapes to find treasure. This reinforces number recognition and problem solving.

How to play: Use Lego or building blocks to create patterns, shapes or simple structures. This encourages spatial awareness, fine motor control and early geometry skills.

How to play: Hide letter cards around a room or garden. Children search for letters, then practise sounding them out or forming words. This develops early literacy and phonics.

How to play: Draw a hopscotch grid with numbers and ask children to jump while calling out sums or sequences. This supports counting, addition and gross motor skills.

How to play: Use dice with pictures or words to inspire short stories. Children practise creative writing, sentence formation and imagination.

How to play: Provide objects of different shapes and sizes. Children group and classify them, exploring attributes like size, colour and shape. This develops early maths and observation skills.

How to play: Use sand, rice or shaving foam for children to trace letters or numbers with their fingers. This strengthens fine motor skills and letter recognition.

How to play: Bake simple recipes together. Children measure ingredients, count items, and follow steps, combining numeracy, sequencing and practical life skills.

How to play: Time how long it takes to complete a jigsaw or matching puzzle. This promotes problem solving, concentration and hand-eye coordination.

How to play: Give children materials like blocks, straws or cardboard to build a bridge that can hold a small toy. This encourages creativity, engineering thinking and problem solving.

How to play: Create a bingo card with sight words or vocabulary words. Call them out and have children mark them. This improves reading skills and listening comprehension.

How to play: Use beads to create patterns on string or pipe cleaners. Children practise sequencing, colour recognition and fine motor skills.

How to play: Provide rulers, measuring tapes or containers. Children can measure objects, compare lengths, or pour water to explore capacity, introducing early maths concepts.

How to play: Simple experiments like vinegar and baking soda volcanoes or floating/sinking tests encourage observation, prediction and problem solving.

How to play: Set up a pretend shop or post office with price tags, letters or parcels. Children practise counting, writing, reading signs and social interaction.
