Sharpen skills with a creative writing game

Writers are careful observers. Here's a fun way to help your child build both observation and writing skills. Bring some pencils and paper on a family walk. Set a time limit, then challenge family members to write down words for things they see around them (building, tree, etc.). They can also include descriptive words like "tall" or "gray." When the time is up, see who can turn their word collection into the most creative sentence.
