I am studying early childhood education and I am going on placement in a centre soon. we have to make resources to take to these centre, the resources/activies are suppose to promote the use of language, so it could be anything from treasure chest to discussing different things in photo albums.
However i am stumped on what to do for infants (ages 0-16months). I am not sure how i can support or encourage the use of language. i was thinking of learning different body parts with a chart with removeble body parts but i'm sort of thinking thats a bit advanced, othrs in my class are doing mobiles so I want to do something diffferent.
please help
Answer
all younger kids learns fast when they experience it. you can do alphabets puzzles but is from foam, you can even just put words of the different toys that you have for them..just put words in all their toys.. label your classroom and let them listen to rhyming songs, and nursery songs..

I haven't read any books on games to play with your children, but I do get e-mails and mailings from formula and diaper companies which include developmental suggestions. Plus, you kind of make up stuff as you go along!
These are the things I do with my almost 3 month old son (who is "highly advanced" according to milestone charts):
* I talk to him constantly. I tell him all the tasks I am doing, and I make up silly stories. This helps his vocabulary development. I also vary my speaking voice and I refer to myself as "mommy" and my son by his name instead of saying "I" and "you" (babies are not supposed to comprehend pronouns at a young age).
* I count to 10 with him on both our fingers in English and Spanish every day. And, I use his toys to introduce the names of colors, also in both languages. When I show him books with pictures of animals or objects, I try to use both languages as well.
* He has a bumble bee toy that I hold a few inches away from his face and allow him to focus on. Then I make a buzzing sound and move the bee in different directions (up, down, left, right) so he practices following it with his eyes. This helps spacial development.
* I sing songs to him, especially ones with hand motions or dances (la manito, itsy bitsy spider, wheels on the bus, etc).
* I place toys in his hand(s) while we are playing together so he works on his grip, or I sit him in his swing with toys attached to the play tray when he wants independant time so he can practice grabbing the toys himself. He also like to play on his play mat and in his bouncy chair where he can bat at and rattle the toys.
I hope these suggestions help. Good luck!
