Hunting for eggs is a great time to work on language skills! Here are a few ideas on how to practice those language skills while having fun looking for eggs.
Asking a child where they found the egg is a great way to work on positional/directional concepts such as on, in, under, below, beside, between, next to, and above. Taking pictures of the child finding the egg in different places gives you an opportunity to practice later as well. You can even use those pictures to make a book called “Where is the Egg?”
Describing the color, design, and size of the egg is also a good way to practice language skills. You can work all the way up to an impressive sentence such as, I found the pink polka dot egg beside the tree. You can even work on singular/plural and is/are, i.e. The eggs are on the slide. Once you start using language during your egg hunt, you will think of lots of ways to incorporate language into your fun. Happy Hunting!
