Fill in the Blank
My mom does a fun, simple activity with O that some readers may be interested in doing (or you may already do it!). She says nursery rhymes with O and leaves out key words, which O fills in. For instance... Jack and ____ went up a ____ to fetch a pail of _____. Jack fell ____ and broke his ____ and Jill came tumbling _____. O has such a great time filling in the missing words, and she is so proud of herself. This is a great activity to do in the car, and its so simple. I feel a little silly that I didn't think of it myself! Thanks, mom!

Beeper loves this game. We do it with the books we read over and over. I'll pause and let him fill in words. We also found a song on the MouseCookie homepage (he loves the "If you give a mouse a cookie" books) that uses a similiar idea, and I wish there was a way to download it because we loves it so much. The singer tells the story of the mouse, but occasioannly substitutes in the wrongs words. For example: "If you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of lemonade. No! He's going to ask for a glass of milk. Yes!" Beeper just laughs and laughs whenever I play the song.
