My dad used to use multiple choice questions very effectively. I've started having fun with them (and hopefully teaching my kids as well.)
Last night's was the following:
"What time do you go to bed?
A. 3 o'clock
B. 8 o'clock
c. 10 o'clock"
"10!"
"I'm sorry that's incorrect. Would you like to try again?"
I repeated the answers.
"8!" she yelled.
"Good job."
Then she said, "thirty," as in eight-thirty.
Tamar and I just looked at each other wondering how she knew that one. Kids pick up the darndest things.
