Thinking of you

Fun way to help your kids learn your phone number

ADDED April 24, 2008

On the rare occasion that my beautiful wife is able to leave the house alone I like to encourage this activity. I will say, ”Who knows Moms phone number?” And whoever can recite it can call her and tell her they are thinking of her.

Next I will ask, ”Who knows my phone number?” Whoever can recite it can call me on my cell phone,of course I go to another room.

”Who knows Grandfathers phone number?” and whoever can recite it can call him and ask if he wants to meet us at the park.

Then I will give them my cell phone a say, ”Who knows our home phone number?” Whoever can recite it can call the house and leave a funny message.

After all the phone madness we review how to use 911 and who we can call using that number and when to call that number. We also go over good phone manners and how to answer the phone.

It’s fun, the kids like using the phone and if your kids don’t know your phone number help them learn it, soon you could be on the receiving end of a thinking of you call.
