Paper Airplane Game

Ages 2 - 5
Need: paper, ruler or yardstick, crayons

Let your child color his paper to make his own unique plane.

Help your child to make the plane, describing how you FOLD the paper in HALF, fold two flaps DOWN, then fold two flaps down HORIZONTALLY.

Explain the difference between vertical and horizontal to him.

Once it is assembled, give it to your child so he can fly it.

When it's soaring in the air, talk about how FAR you think it will go. When it lands, measure how far it flew then talk about distance and what it means to your child.

Let her tell you what she thinks distance means - be sure to use words like FAR, NEAR, AWAY - to help her learn those words.

Say things such as, "Which is farthest away, your plane or the door?"

"What is nearest to you, me or the wall?"

Ask her how close she thinks the wall is to her, or how far the chair is from the couch.

Show her how to measure with a ruler or yardstick.

Make a couple airplanes and have a race to see who can fly their plane the farthest.

Play a set number of rounds and see who the winner is. Let the winner keep all the airplanes.

Give him crayons so he can color and make his plane special.
