Pair of Words

Ages 2 - 5

Your child will learn word combinations in this game.

Explain to her that sometimes she will hear words paired up with each other such as peanut butter and jelly.

Ask her why she thinks peanut butter and jelly go together and make good combinations (explain what a combination is).

Give her a PBJ sandwich if she's never had one and ask her if she thinks those words make a good pair.

Ask her if she can think of any words that go together.

Other examples to teach your child include: hammer and nails, salt and pepper, chips and pretzels, shoes and socks.

Explain why each of these words are paired with the other word.

Ask her some words that she knows that go together. Maybe it's her hair ribbons and bows.

Maybe it's his toy trucks and cars. Or his baseball mitt and ball.

Ask why these things go together. Both ribbons and bows can go in hair or on packages.

A baseball fits into a mitt. Trucks and cars are both automobiles.

How about spaghetti and meatballs? Do they go together? Why? What about toothbrush and toothpaste?

Look around the house together and see how many pairs you can find.

Washcloths and towels go together.

Bring up an unlikely combination to your child, such as shoes and hats and see if he thinks those are a good pair!
