How to best prepare a special-needs child for kindergarten?

I am taking care of two little boys full-time this summer and one of the boys (5) is entering kindergarten in the fall and has a genetic disorder. He is a very smart and intelligent little guy but he has problems with stuttering and forming words and sentences as well as focusing on one activity to the other. His mom gave me a list of things he needs to work on in the summer from his future teachers.

1. Coloring
2. Dot-to-dot connecting
3.Play-doh
4. Work on #s and counting
5.Legos
6. Phonics
7. Retelling stories- we need to read almost every day
8. Cutting with scissors

Most of these are very easy but I have trouble forming fun activities to practice them through. If anyone has any fun games, iPad apps, website links to printouts, advice on special needs children when it comes to sitting down and focusing, etc.It would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much.
