Silly Names

Ages 2 - 5

Using people pictures in magazines or people on tv, pick a first name and have your child pick a funny name to go before the first name.

If you see a little girl on tv singing, say to your child, "Her name is Cindy. What's her silly first name?"

Your child could say "music" because she's singing. Or "note" because a note is in music.

A basketball player with longs arms could be called "Long Arm Andy", a track runner could be called "Quick Clinton."

A football player who's husky could be called "round Robert".

This game lets your child use his imagination while associating something that this person is doing or saying with a creative name.

Explain why the funny name goes with the activity the person is doing.

Your child sees someone cutting the grass. His name could be "weedy William" or "plowing Patrick".

A swimmer on television could be called "Underwater Uncle Billy".

A man dressed in a suit could be called "Wall Street Walter". A person on a bicycle is "Pedaling Philip".

Let your kids have fun with this!

If you're brave enough, let your child give funny names to his parents, his brothers and sisters and the family pets! Then let him give one to himself!

Have your child make a face and look in the mirror at himself. What would his funny name be now?
