I’m looking for activities to get a five year old ready for school. Any suggestions?

Fun, fun, fun! Has tons of activities and games for alphabet learning, reading, sounds, writing, etc. I am a early childhood ed. major and one of my professors recommended this site. I introduced it to my 5 year old niece and she absolutely loved it. Kept her busy for weeks. I will use it in my future classroom.
Try it!
When I was teaching grades K-3 the kids loved to go on Starfall.com during computer time.. BEST PART= It is greatly educational, especially if you sit them and reinforce what it is helping them learn.
Also, get the big lined paper and use highlighter to write names, phone number, address, etc and have him or her write it (trace) and say it. Eventually omit the highlighted portions and work on doing it without. These will be some of the biggest things they will need to know, in addition to colors, shapes, etc. The kids in Kindergarten I taught also loved to play “treasure hunt”. I would choose a child sitting quietly and tell them to “find something oval” and when they did they could go line up for PE, Music, etc. Obviously mix up giving them shapes, colors or letters to find in the room you are in.
