Children understand the value of Wh questions when events are broken down into structured questions. These question sequences helps the child to answer questions in context. Each question sequence contains a "Where, Why, What, Who and When" question. "Where do you see a movie?" "In a movie theater", is just a piece of arbitrary information. Putting questions into sequence gives meaning to the questions and helps the child understand an event. You can see a movie in a movie theater, you go to the concession stand to buy snacks, you can buy popcorn, you give your ticket to the usher before you see the movie, and you sit in a chair to watch the movie. These question sequences help a child make sense of their world. This pack has question sequences about all the things a child does for entertainment. Some examples include a restaurant, the beach, the petting zoo, the circus, the aquarium, the playground, the amusement park and the movie theater. Minimize

It's said that nothing new is actually invented, just reinvented. The game CoMotion refreshes that party classic, Charades, with cool designs and updated accessories that include a deck of cards and game tokens. Designed for individual players or teams, CoMotion has spaces on its vibrantly colored game board that direct players to act out a noun, a verb, a phrase, or a combination of related words. If you land on an extended-play space, you get extra time. Depending on the roll of the dice, sometimes just one player acts out a word, while at other times, two players simultaneously are grappling with the same word. The real commotion ensues when two players act out different words at the same time. During the acting-out, no talking is allowed. However, old tricks, like tugging on your ear to indicate "sounds like," are permitted. --Lynne Sampson Minimize
