There are so many great games to play with older preschoolers. Try to always use this time for a purpose. One game that helps children develop listening skills is Simon Says. Another game that develops cooperation is Sailing Down the River-- children stand one behind the other with their legs spread apart. The first child starts a wooden block or toy boat "sailing down the river" between one's spread legs and passing it to the next child. The game ends when the boat reaches and goes through the legs of the last child. You can add another purpose to this game by setting a certain number of boats "down the river". Have fun with these two games! Name: Email: Subject
