• Play games together—such as card games, dice games, puzzles, or board games. These activities help reinforce basic math facts and build social- emotional skills.
• Engage your child in conversations about their learning and social experiences. Try asking open-ended “Ask Me About…” questions such as:
  o   What’s one new thing you learned today?
  o   What was the best part of your day?
  o   Did you face a challenge today? How did you handle it?
  o   Can you show me a game you learned at school?
  o   What’s the most fun thing to do outside at recess?
  o   Who are your friends, and what do you enjoy playing with them?
