The playground structure that you see in my earlier posts is built on this shock absorbing rubber foam. Since we are going to take away the wonderfully creative media of sand, we better make sure that we gave playground users something not just safe but just as fun.
Forget about flashcards! These huge alphabets printed on the foam are going to be more fun and effective to teach our children letters recognition. Children can "trace out" the alphabets by walking, hopping, marching, crawling, galloping or using their whole palm. Make sure you get them to shout out the name of the letters as they move through it. Such multisensory teaching will make letters recognition a breeze for your kids.
As they got better at recognising the letters, we can play a game by calling out the name of a letter and the children can race each other to spot, run and land on the letter!
As your children 'trace' the alphabets, make sure they do it with the correct strokes as this can ensure proper letter formation on paper... wrong letter formations are hard to correct in later years and significantly slows down writing speed.
Oh, cycling and jogging along the alphabets as we sing the alphabet song is fun and teach the kids to sequence their letters...
I just wish they have these letters in lower case too!

Hi
can give details such as where exactly the park is or near which block...
Thank you for your suggestion... The Boon Lay playground reviewed here is situated between Blk 201 and Blk 203 Boon Lay Drive.
As for the rest of the playgrounds, I will be adding a note on their exact locations.
