Counting: When entering kindergarten, children need to be able to count to 25. You can help them learn this step by step. Start by teaching your child to count from 1 to 5. Once they’re comfortable, add five more numbers at a time until they can count all the way to 25.
Hopping on one foot: Take two hops then switch feet. This can be tricky, keep practicing. How many hops can you take? This skill practice builds strength, coordination, and balance.
Practice writing: Start by practicing basic lines and shapes. Draw straight, curvy, wavy, and zigzag lines on paper, and ask your child to copy them. This helps them gain control of the pencil and strengthens the muscles needed for writing. Another great activity is connecting dots to form simple shapes or pictures. These activities build the coordination and confidence your child will need when they start writing letters and numbers.
