To help reinforce the lessons of The Upside Down Show, here are some play-at-home ideas based on each episode written by Anna Housley Juster, M.A., Director of Content for Sesame Street and The Upside Down Show.
Episode 108: Beach
Skills Developed:
Thinking & Reasoning
Imagination
You can extend the learning at home and build your child's reasoning skills. Ask your child what other wrong turns David and Shane could take in this episode as they travel to the beach. They know that the beach has sand and water and that it is hot rather than cold. What else can they learn? Perhaps your child will send them to the Busy City Room where cars and buses zoom by and skyscrapers tower overhead. Is this the beach? Why not?
This type of thinking boosts your child's reasoning skills as he explores the theme of "beach" and decides what does and does not belong in this category.
