Knock! Game Have some fun with the old "Knock! Knock! Who's There?" joke. This is an activity that will have your child playing a form of peek-a-boo and learning what "knocking" is all about, learning the names of relatives and friends. You'll need to print out the door on the next page and cut the door out. Tape it to a piece of paper ( any color) only on one side, where it hinges. This way you should be able to open the door. Now have parents bring some pictures of family that they don’t mind getting cut up. Put a photo under the door flap, put the paper down on some cardboard ( or something hard) and then have your toddler knock on the door while saying "knock, knock". Then have her ask "who's there?” Have her open the door and identify who she sees. You might need to help her with the name. Do it again, and don't let her see what photo you put under the door flap so that she can be surprised! Then let her pick a photo to put behind the door and have you, knock and ask who's there. A cute idea is print up some small pictures off the internet of Ernie, Big Bird, Dora, or any other TV character that the children enjoy. Won’t they be surprised to see their “friends?” Supplies Needed: • Printer and paper to print out the door image. • photos of friends and relatives • scissors • tape Knock! Knock Who’s There? Game Turn this game into a file folder game. Print up the following sheet onto white card stock. Cut on the dotted line to make the door open. Using double sided tape or glue, glue the piece of paper into a file folder.
