Sarris Candies is a fine (and delicious!) location to practice pronoun usage. I suggest bringing the whole family to Sarris in order to give your child plenty of opportunities to practice different pronouns.

One way to practice pronouns at Sarris is to ask you child to tell you what candies everyone in the family likes. Use a simple pronoun-verb-object structure:
"
I like chocolate,"

"
You like pretzels,"

Tip: These are all examples of pronouns used as subjects. You may also have your child practice pronouns as objects (me, you, him, her, it, us, them, whom): "Mom/dad bought the chocolate for
me,"; and pronouns that show possession (my/mine, your/yours, his, her/hers, it/its, our, their/theirs, whose): "The dark chocolate is
hers."
