Hey there! We have a fun song to help you learn to say special names like “mama” or “dada.” Do you want to try it with us?
Let’s start with “mama.” Can you say “mama”? That’s great! “Mama” is a special name for someone who loves you very much.
Now, let’s try “dada.” Can you say “dada”? Awesome! “Dada” is another special name for someone who cares for you.
How about we try saying your name? If your name is Riley, you can say “Riley.” Can you say your name? Yay! It’s fun to say your own name.
We can also say other names like “grandpa.” Can you say “grandpa”? Good job! “Grandpa” is a name for someone who might tell you stories and give you hugs.
We hope you enjoy our name song! Keep practicing and soon you’ll be saying all kinds of names. Singing is a fun way to learn!
Name Hunt: Go on a name hunt around your home! Ask your child to find objects or pictures that remind them of people with special names like “mama,” “dada,” or “grandpa.” Encourage them to say the names out loud and share why those objects remind them of these people. This helps connect names with real-life experiences.
Name Art: Provide your child with paper and crayons or markers. Ask them to draw a picture of someone special, like “mama” or “dada,” and write the name underneath. Encourage them to decorate the picture with things that remind them of that person. This activity combines creativity with learning names.
Story Time with Names: Create a simple story together using the names learned in the lesson. For example, “Mama and Dada went to the park with Riley.” Encourage your child to add more to the story, using other names they know. This activity helps them practice using names in sentences and enhances their storytelling skills.
