What's your number?

The children have shown an interest in using telephones and making phone calls while at our Dramatic Play Centre. We have been discussing phone numbers and how each number is different depending on who you want to call. 

What number would you call in an emergency? Who would you call if you wanted to order a pizza? What if you wanted to grandpa? 

Learning his/her phone number is an important part of your child's development. Making it into a catchy song is an easy way to teach your child their phone number. 

Having your child practice making phone calls at home is a great way for your child to learn the skills necessary for making a proper phone call.  When they are ready, help them learn how to answer your phone properly and safely. 

Practicing with family members and friends is a great activity and fun for everyone!
