Heart & Seek

Last night I cut out hearts and put one letter on each.
They were color coded by word, and had a number on the back.
On the sign there was an outline for each heart and the matching number.
I hid all the hearts around the house.

This morning Westley picked up his basketball and found the a heart taped to it. He said "huh? What's this?"
I told him it was a game, that there were more hearts around the house, they each had a letter on them, and when he put them all together it would spell something.

The first letter he found was a Y and he taped it to the sign.
He then guessed that it said I Love You.

Westley and Will had a great time finding the rest of the hearts around the house and putting them on the sign.




They were both so excited about it and wanted me to re-hide them.
Now Westley wants me to spell new words/phrases.

I was thinking this would be a good one for a little bit older kids for practicing spelling words and such.

I'm sure we will be doing something similar again!
