Play this game to expand a child's vocabulary and encourage longer sentences. Pick up a familiar toy from the classroom, such as a car from the block center, and say, "I see a car." Have the child repeat your sentence. Then ask the child, "What color is the car?" Child answers, "Blue." Then you add the child's words to the sentence, "I see a blue car," and have the child repeat. Ask, "What else can you say about the car?" Child might answer, "You ride in it." You respond, "I see a blue car that you can ride in," and the child repeats. Play with several other objects.
