讲完绘本，别忘了安排上各种绘本周边，及时复习绘本内容，加深娃对会被的理解哦。本周，小鹿依然为大家准备了一些简单的绘本亲子游戏，一起来看看吧。
1.五只小鸭涂色卡片
涂色是娃喜闻乐见的绘画游戏，即可以锻炼娃的精细动作，又可以加深娃对这本绘本的印象。涂好颜色后还可以把小鸭子们剪下来做绘本剧的角色哦。
2.小鸭子数数表
打印出来，让娃学着把鸭子的具体个数和数字联系起来，再试着自己在格子里贴上或画上相应个数的图形吧。
另外，还可以给娃播放各种童谣视频、音频，给娃熏听，润物无声地把英语启蒙嵌入到娃生活的方方面面。
最后，还是老规矩，转发此文到朋友圈或母婴群即可，截图发至后台即可获得本文所提到的绘本电子版、小鹿自制音频、绘本童谣音频、绘本手工材料等资源等哦。
