Adjectives – Name Acrostic

Parents, you probably did this when you were in school. I'll bet your children have also done this at least once beyond first or second grade. Using the letters from your name find adjectives that describe yourself. Here is an example using my own name, Jean.

J - Joyous
E - Energetic
A - Ambitious
N - Nutty

To expand the activity, after each person has prepared his or her own name acrostic, create them for each other.

Observations – Similar Shapes

Take turns finding objects within view that have a similar shape.

• My glass of milk is a cylinder and so is the table leg.
• My fork has spiky edges and so does the fern.

Feel free to use conventional shape designations such as cylinder, square, cone, etc. or your own descriptive phrases such as spiky edges, fluffy, etc.
