Nursery Year 2: counting and first sounds before primary
Nursery Year 2 is the last nursery year in Guyana, for children of about 5, before primary school. Here are counting and letter-sound games to get ready at home.
Getting started
A five-minute game for today
Line up five spoons. Your child counts them, touching each one. Then hide one behind your back and ask: “How many now?”

The year before primary
Year 2 is when nursery starts to look like school: numbers, the sounds of letters and holding a crayon properly. Primary school follows the next year.

Counting puppies
In Numbers, the voice asks “How many puppies do you see?” and your child taps the number among three choices. Encourage them to touch each puppy as they count.
Together 03
The first sound of a word
In Letters, your child hears a word and taps the letter that starts it. Play it out loud too: “Mango starts with mmm. What else starts with mmm?”

Getting ready for primary
Practise the small things: a new uniform, a longer day, packing a bag. Visiting the primary school before the first day makes it less strange.
