Playing “Silly Sentence Match-Ups”

Are you ready? This could get a bit silly!

Select the animal and place cards you want to review with your child. The animals cards are marked with a paw print on the back and the place cards are marked with a compass rose. You’ll notice that the paw print and compass rose symbols are color-coded for each level. Shuffle and place the cards face down in two piles, one for animals and one for places.

Have your child draw one card from each pile.

I am currently homeschooling 3 kids, and next year will be 4. The activities like silly sentences and others within the books (both AAR and AAS) have been able to keep all of them engaged. My youngest is 6 and they go up to high school. I would recommend the program and these activities to anyone that is looking for something to help their kid(s). Even if they are not homeschooling.
