• Home is the first learning place and the whānau are the first teachers a child has.
• A young child doesn’t always need special learning activities. Simple everyday household activities and routines can provide learning experiences in a familiar environment.

• By learning what adults do, children learn these skills too.
• It provides opportunities for language, maths and social learning.

You’ll need: A mess to tidy, a little goofiness and some friendly competition. 

Race the song: Put on a song and see if you can tidy up everything before the song ends!

Play mission impossible: Put on some theme music and take turns choosing a mission. E.g. Our challenge is to put away anything that’s blue. Or all our shoes.

Kids vs parents: Race each other – kids tidying one room, adults another! Eek – don’t let the kids win!
