A Floor for 
Games to Go: Silly Mistakes
Read a familiar poem or story.
Make any kind of Silly Mistake that will be obvious to your child.
For example:
You might replace a word with nonsense:
Jack and Jill went up the pickle.
Jack climbed up the beanstalk and found the penguin’s house.
You might say the words in the wrong order:
The first little pig built a straw of house.
Snowman the Frosty had to hurry on his way.
You might say a word with the wrong first sound; or swap sounds:
The clock struck one, The mouse ran down,
Dickory, Hickory Hock.
Old Mac Donald had a farm.
Ee-oh-ee-oh-eye
Goodnight moon.
Goodnight cow jumping over the joon.
Ask your child to catch your error! (Silly Mom or Dad.)
