If your child is trying to master a new language, help him or her to make flash cards to practice vocabulary. Once finished turn them face down and try to match them naming the word as they turn each card over.
Older students can make a picture and a word to match.
Food shopping often provides a chance to practice skills in a new language. The ethnic food or produce sections of the supermarket are places where children can identify foods of the culture or language being studied. If they can read, then they can examine the labels on cans and jars to find words they recognize. The supermarket provides a good opportunity to practice counting no matter what the language. Count cans on the shelves or cartons in the dairy section.
