These activity packets were designed for use with preschool and kindergarten children in Hickory, North Carolina to assist in the link between school and home. As parents use these games to play with their child at home to reinforce what is being learned at school, parents will also learn a more appropriate way to "teach" their child than through worksheets and drill. The publication contains teacher directions for making each activity packet, with a list of materials required to complete the games. Also included are master copies to use in making one set of packets, with parent directions and patterns. The 35 packets cover skills in math, matching, and language development, with the latter activities incorporating several children's books. (EV)
