You are done when

After round three, freeze and share a quiet high five.

If you get stuck

Make the movement smaller or show it only with fingers. Safety matters more than performance.

More rounds

  • Do everything in slow motion.
  • The child leads one round.
  • Turn the movement into a sound or a face.

Safety

The adult chooses a safe area. The child does not open or taste anything and does not climb.
