OLSAT, Stanford-Binet, ERB Test Prep Activity Brought To Life By My Dogs – #4
If your child is taking the OLSAT, Stanford-Binet, ERB (WPPSI) or any kindergarten readiness test, he will have to know her shapes. He’ll need to both recognize them and be able to draw them. The reason shapes are so important for children entering kindergarten is because they are the basis for recognizing and writing letter and numbers. For example, the letter “D” is a straight line and half a circle. A “V” is two sides of a triangle. The number “8″ is two circles.” The activities following this video will tax your child’s memory, math, knowledge, and fine-motor skills. You’ll want to take out a pencil and a piece of paper to work with after this video. Just watch it together and read the words to your child as you’re watching. Then, ask the questions below. Here goes:
1. What is the name of the black dog? Bronco
2. What is the name of the white dog? Honey
3. What do these two dogs like to do together? Kiss
4. What shape does Honey like to walk in? Circle
5. When Honey walks in a circle, how does she feel? Happy
6. How many kisses did Bronco give Honey in the video? 6
7. Does Honey walk in a straight line when she’s happy? No.
Can you draw a straight line on this piece of paper?
8. Does Honey walk in a square when she’s happy? No.
Can you draw a square on this piece of paper? (If your child can’t do this, draw 4 dots for her to connect)
9. Does Honey walk in a triangle when she’s happy? No.
Can you draw a triangle on this piece of paper? (If your child can’t do this, draw 3 dots for her to connect)
10. Does Honey walk in a circle when she’s happy? YES!

Another great one! My son things their naughty dogs for kissing. I love the questions they keep things fun and always lead to more questions from him. :)
