Finn enjoyed a word hunt prepared by Ioan. He used words with ‘or’ in them.

Resources

  • Card
  • Coloured pencils
  • Scissors

Method

Ioan cut the card into pieces, then wrote an ‘or’ word on one, with the corresponding picture on another.

Finn hunted for the cards that Ioan had hidden around the garden. Ioan had him crawling through tunnels, going down the slide and bouncing on the trampoline, making it a great activity for gross motor skills.

Then Ioan helped him match the pictures to the words.

There’s nothing Ioan loves more than teaching his brothers.
