Other really useful ideas which my daughter loves are wordsearches and crosswords. This extends her vocabulary and is also fun. The books we are using at the moment are Horrid Henry fun books. They don't feel like work, yet are helping to develop all sorts of important techniques. We completed one today and had lots of fun doing so.
I used to teach at a school that came up with the words "thinking outside of the box" and I think this is such a wonderful phrase. I think it can apply to everything that a child needs to learn. Whatever you do, your child can learn from it. Count balls when playing a sport game or count lamposts on a walk. All it takes is time, make sure you give yourself extra time whenever leaving the house or going off on an adventure. The trip that used to take you ten minutes could now easily take half an hour!
