    5 Ways to Build Language Skills


    with Apples to Apples Junior
    Apples to Apples Junior is a fast-paced card game that is not only a ton of fun, it’s also a
    wonderful way to expand your child’s language arts skills! As you play, try incorporating the
    ideas below to sneak a little learning into the fun.

    1. Learn nouns (including some gerunds) and


    .

    adjectives. As you play the game, help kids


    understand what nouns and adjectives are
    and how they are used. The noun cards may
    also include gerunds (words formed with verbs
    ending in ing that act as nouns, like surfing and
    shopping). To find a gerund, look for ing.

    2. Build vocabulary. Noun cards include a short


    .

    definition or description, giving your child the


    opportunity to build his vocabulary as he plays.

    3. Encourage creative word play. The game


    .

    encourages children to think outside the box and find new ways to describe both familiar
    words and new additions to their vocabulary. It’s fun for kids (and adults, too!) to explain
    why they chose a particular card during game play.

    4. Play with words and their meanings. The descriptions on some cards are meant to be
    .

    funny. For example, the description on the hamburger card asks, Do you want fries with
    that? These fun descriptions provide great opportunities for discussion about the words and
    their meanings!

    5. Play with synonyms. Adjective cards feature words like talented, interesting, and goofy.
    .

    Each adjective card also lists two synonyms for the featured word, introducing kids to
    shades of meaning and expanding their descriptive vocabulary.
