To encourage your child to build their vocabulary and recognition of verbal labels you could give your child photos of your household items (sofa, rug, bed, etc.) with two-sided sticky tape on the back and send them off to play a ‘snap’ game by sticking the photo to the item you name. Alternatively you could make two sets of cards, stick one set around the house and show your child the second set one at a time and ask them to run to the object and return with the matching card.

You can play sorting games (by categories/colours/uses/etc.), matching games (picture to object/picture to picture) and literacy games (things beginning with …) with all sorts of pictures. By using recognizable photos of objects, people and places familiar and relevant to your child you create interest and meaning in the activity and are not demanding a level of imagination which your child may struggle with. Your child will connect more immediately looking at a picture of his own Wellingtons than he will with a general picture of Wellingtons.
