Step by step

  1. Print the picture cards and set out three spots marked 1, 2, 3.
  2. Say "el-e-phant" while clapping each beat, and count: 3!
  3. Let your child draw a card, name it, and say it again while clapping.
  4. Count the claps together and put the card on the matching number spot.
  5. Make a deliberate mistake from time to time and let them joyfully correct you.
  6. Jump across squares for each syllable, or hunt for 4-syllable words around the house.
