PRESCHOOL
FOLDER GAMES
Before your child learns how to read, they need to know the letters of the alphabet, both capital and lowercase. They should be able to recite the alphabet. Before your child can do math, they need to know how to count, what numbers look like, and the sets they represent. Preschoolers should learn about colors, shapes, and patterns. These games and activities will help you teach your child all of the things they need to know before they start kindergarten. Games are a fun way to learn new things!
