Disclosure: I was sent this product to review in exchange for my honest opinion.
Most of the time my boys are not shy, but when it comes to asking them questions they are quiet as a mouse. When I ask “What did you do at school today?” it is not uncommon for me to get either no answer or a “nothing.” I think the problem for my boys is they have had speech delays and are embarassed by their voices. To get them more comfortable using their voices, I am constantly asking them questions and probing them in conversations. Anything to get them thinking and speaking, I am all about!
A few months ago I posted about a company called Super Duper Publications and their products that I fell in love with, well now they have got me again with some more cool products!
All About You, All About Me Fun Deck
What is your name?
What do you like to do on rainy days?These questions and more will help your students sharpen their ability to ask and answer basic questions. Students can use the 56 question cards to talk about themselves and learn about others. The deck includes basic questions, open-ended questions, content cards, and game ideas. Use the cards one-on-one or share them as a group. Cards measure 2 ½” x 3 ½” and are stored in a sturdy storage tin.
This is an awesome tin of questions for so many different reasons. First it helps to spark conversations with your child, with questions that I wouldn’t have thought of. It’s amazing how easily I draw a blank when asking my kids questions other than “How was your day?” This tin offers 56 cards of questions that I can ask my kids or they could ask me! It is a great game for the car or for kids to get to know their friends. Ask a few or ask them all, and then store them nicely in a tin. It is a great ice breaker or just a way to get to know your kids, at that time, and then ask them again later since their minds will change!
It’s a magnetic revolution!!! Super Duper combined real photos with the ever-popular world of magnetics to make this first game in the MagneTalk series. Your students will definitely be “attracted” to this life-like game, as they improve their classifying, vocabulary, critical thinking, and fine motor skills.
Early Classifying has 5 categories:
- Transportation – car, bus, motorcycle, airplane, boat, helicopter, fire engine
- Clothing – sneakers, socks, jeans, bathing suit, shirt, cap, coat
- Animals – cat, dog, cow, horse, lizard, zebra, chicken
- Food – apple, grapes, corn, peas, pizza, hamburger, cookie
- Around the Home – chair, sofa, cup, cell phone, bed, lamp, television
This innovative game includes:
- Colorful magnetic game board (14″ x 18″)
- 35 photo magnetic, vinyl tiles (1 ½” x 1 ½”) with seven different photo magnets for each of the 5 categories
- Game ideas
Lately I have been looking for activities for my 4 year old to get him ready for kindergarten. He is a smart little cookie and I want him to keep thinking and working on things. The MagneTalk Early Classifying board is a magnetic board where your child needs to classify different items to the category they belong in. I put out all the little pieces and explained the different categories and let my son put the items where he thought they belonged. It was interesting to see his logic, such as how he wanted to put all the items in Around the Home category because technically they are all items inside the home! After he classified the items, we talked about their names and just about the items’ uses. It was a great activity and one that surprisingly he wants to do over and over. It may seem like a simple board and that once your kids do it once they won’t want to do it again, but my 4 year old loves to keep challenging himself. Maybe he wants to see how fast he can classify everything or other ways he can classify the items, but he definitely is getting his use out of it.
Overall, Super Duper Publications has won me over. They have so many amazing products and the best part is they offer Free Shipping with a $20 order! The only problem I have is there are too many great products that it is hard to narrow it down!
