This is the way!

Another song to sing along with your child! You can use this song when she brushes her teeth, when she combs her hair, when he gets dressed to go to school or washes his face in the morning.

A lovely song about daily routines that can be sung to the tune of "This is the way...".

More on the numbers

This is a lovely activity and it will get your child hooked on the numbers! Cut out the numbers (symbols and words) and then stick them on the wall at an appropriate level for your child to be able to reach them and pick them up. Shuffle them around and then help your child put them back in the right order and match the symbol with the correct word!

At the beginning you can use the colour matching version (click here for symbols and words). This way your child will practice the numbers and the respective words for them by matching the colours. Later or for children who can already recognise the words you could use the B&W version (click here for symbols and words).

Alternatively you could play this game on the floor or even take it with you when you go out for more fun learning!

Five Little Ducks - Τα 5 παπάκια

This is a lovely song to practice the numbers. It is called "5 παπάκια". You sing it to the tune of the nursery rhyme 5 little ducks. 

 Use the printable to laminate it or print it on a card paper and hold it for your child to look at it while you are doing the singing. It is a very cute song and you can do some lovely crafts to accompany your singing too!

My dear friend Vanja has a lovely blog called Emma's Lunch, full of craft and other child-friendly activities! Great inspiration! Here is an easy tutorial on how to make a very cute chick that you could use to make your own little family of Mummy Duck and Ducklings. Make sure you search through her blog for more fun, adorable, child-friendly activities and ideas!

One to ten - learn the numbers

Learn the numbers from one to ten in Greek!

Use the flashcards to help your child familiarise with the numbers in Greek and learn to recognise the words for them. When you show each card to your child encourage him to count in Greek the pictures he sees. Mix them up and play the sorting game! You could even print them out twice and make it into a memory game by turning them upside down and finding the pairs!

Print out these colouring pages and get colouring! Fill in the blanks with the missing letters to practice spelling the numbers correctly. This is for the older kids who have started learning how to write the letters. You may skip this exercise with younger kids.
