Description
About the book. A journey can provide plenty of time for a small challenge with pencil and paper. The Games on the Go Activity Book from Lonely Planet Kids brings together over 100 travel-themed games, puzzles, and drawing activities. The book is designed to be picked up for short sessions, whether you are on your way somewhere or enjoying a quiet afternoon at home.
Content. Here you will find car bingo, spot-the-difference pictures, true-or-false tasks, mazes, and word searches, among other things. Other pages invite children to draw mirror images, fill in missing fields, find number patterns, and match words to pictures. Sudoku, memory tasks, and treasure hunts are also included in the selection. Answers and solutions are provided at the back, making it possible to check how a task was meant to be solved.
Who is this book suitable for? For children who enjoy switching between drawing, searching, and working their way to an answer. The tasks can be chosen according to interest and English skills, with help from an adult where needed. You can discuss a puzzle together or let the child work on their own. It is easy to stop after a few pages and come back to a different type of challenge later.
Use and activities. Read the instructions together with an adult when English words need explaining, and let the child choose a task that seems appealing. Set up a small workspace and gather what you need for the chosen activity before you begin. It is a good idea to take one page or one project at a time, allowing time to try out your own solutions. Let the child explain their thinking, and use the illustrations for support when working through a task. Feel free to switch between word tasks, drawing, and other activity types if the child wants variety or a short break. The activities can provide a starting point for conversations in Norwegian, even though the instructions and labels in the product are in English. It can be just as interesting to explore a suggestion together as it is to complete all the tasks at once.
