be good expressive language practice to have your child give clues!
while cleaning, take turns with your child being the parent. the person who is being the parent gives the other players directions on what to clean up next. when you, the parent, are being the parent, start with one step directions such as "pick up the train." when your child is ready, start giving 2 step directions such as "pick up a train and put it in the bucket." this is quite a functional game.
