Rachel, from Birmingham, sent in this swat the sound game. Let’s take a look…
What did you do?
Spread letters on the ground. Then ask your child to swat the sounds and say what it is. Or you could shout out a sound and they need to swat it.
You could use the same game for numbers too.
It was a really fun activity. You might want to blu-tac the letters to the floor so they don’t fly away.

How are you finding being housebound so far?
It’s been great. Mostly a very positive experience, being able to have quality family time together.
Do you have any tips for other parents?
Try and have a bit of ‘me’ time. Even if it means putting the tele on so you can get a cup of tea!
Has this website and community helped you?
It’s got loads of great ideas!
