Bring me something ...

Our children - so sweet and innocent (most of the time) - want to please us.  What a great teaching opportunity.  

I'm trying to teach my son his primary colors.  We're focusing on a color a month.  August is blue.  So if there's a lull in the day, and I'm looking to keep him active and entertained, I ask him to bring me something blue.  

He LOVES this game, and asks me to play it all the time.  It's an ability he can show off; and he's pleasing his mommy, meanwhile, learning his colors.  

This game can be used to learn other things too - shapes, numbers, letters, etc.
