In today's post you can find five more letters to download and collect for your Greek Alphabet Colouring Booklet. From Κκ all the way to Ξξ! Colour the images and learn the new words! These could also be used as your very own coloured alphabet flash cards if printed in smaller size. They also make good images to hang on the wall!
Have fun colouring!

Εε to Ιι - colouring pages
Following up from Αα from Δδ - colouring pages, in today's post you can find the letters Εε to Ιι and funny pictures for your little one to colour!
You can collect all the pages - more letters to follow - and make a colouring booklet for your child. You can take it with you wherever you go and let her learn the letters through colouring! Help your preschooler remember the words by repeating them and asking him to point at them when you read them out loud.
Use this link to download the printables. Another idea would be to print them out in A5, both sides. You will end up with a smaller booklet, easier to carry even in your little one's bag! :)

Do you like fruit?
And vegetables too? Now that the summer is here and lots of seasonal fruits and vegetables can be found at the market, it is a great opportunity to teach your kid (and even learn yourself!) the names of fruits and vegetables in Greek.
An easy activity is to visit an open market (more appropriate and fun now in the summer) and go around asking your kid the name of a particular fruit or vegetable in Greek.
At home you could cut up some fruit for your kid and let her name them for you! if she finds the right name, she gets to eat that fruit (or vegetable). A great way to encourage your little one to eat more fruit and vegetables!
Here is a printable with the names and pictures of fruits and vegetables as well as some fun activities for your child.

One to hang on the wall
Maya and I are setting up a "Greek Corner" where we hang up Maya's work in Greek and all the printables we are interested in seeing over and over again. This letter table (printed out in A3) is one of them).
You can cut individually each word from the "words-table" and practice pinning them onto the picture they relate to.

At the dinner table
Food time is a great opportunity for your kid to explore new tastes, colours, learn good manners, bond with the other members of the family and - why not - do some language learning without even realising it!
Today's printable is part of our food series and it can be personalised by your child. He could paint it, do some collage, glue real food on it (raw preferably!) such as lentils, pasta, rice or stick food pictures on it and you can then take his art and laminate it. And...voila! Your child's got her very own personalised placemat to use at dinner time! You could also help her make one for every member of the family and use her imagination to customise it.
Don't forget to learn the new words! Here is the audio for them. Your child could also teach the other members of the family!
Bon appetit!
P.S. Maya's creation to follow, stay tuned!

My preschooler is learning Greek
We live in Cyprus and we speak Greek at home with our two daughters. They both attend an English kindergarten. My 4 year old is fluent in both Greek and English. She has a very rich vocabulary and a great sense of grammar and syntax in both languages. What about reading and writing though?
She has started learning the English alphabet at school and the Greek alphabet at home with me. She knows and can identify all the letters of the Greek alphabet and when you spell the word to her letter by letter she writes it on my laptop - she is really good with the computer! So we follow step by step the same fun exercises and the same language and alphabet games you can find on this blog. This is her journey to learn reading and writing in Greek too! These are her first experiences with written Greek. I am amazed with the memory, the dexterity, the dedication and the progress! She loves colouring and enjoys singing the alphabet song and pointing at the letters.
Here is another fun alphabet game we love to play! We use the alphabet cards you can find here, to play the put the letters in alphabetical order game! Maya loves this game and is always very proud of herself when she manages to sort them (with a little help from mummy!).
