13 Super Seuss Learning Games for Pre, K & First Grade

Inside: 13 super Seuss learning games inspired by our pick of the best Seuss books for kids.

Did you know March 2nd is Dr. Seuss’ birthday? So many of us grew up reading all about the nonsensical world of Seuss, filled with crazy creatures with astonishingly silly names! Seuss’ books are famous (and fabulous) for stretching the boundaries of the English language, and his use of rhyme, rhythm and repetition is super engaging for young children to listen to, and can also help build confidence in early readers. There is no denying, reading a Dr Seuss book is FUN!

Picking a favourite title might just have the potential to divide families – in our family every person has their very own favourite, and I love this list of the 25 best Dr Seuss books as shared by the teachers and parents who follow Childhood 101 – I admit I had not read all of those shared before collating that list! Mine, just in case you were wondering, is One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.

So if you’d like to find fun and educational ways to celebrate the work of Dr Seuss on his birthday – or any day, you can’t go past this list of thirteen Seuss learning games. Combine these with your choice of activities from our funtastical Seuss art ideas and super Seuss sensory play ideas posts and you’ll have a sensational Seuss themed activity day all ready to go!
