Read more Read more Some fun, educational activities from the book: THE BARRIER GAME (Ages 7 to 11) What You'll Need: Clay or two sets of blocks or crayons and paper. Once youve chosen the material, you and your child will sit back-to-back. One of you will be designated as the leader, who will call out directions, while the other will act as the student, who will follow the directions. The leader designs a simple structure or picture. Then they describe, step by step, to their student how to make it. The student can ask for clarification during this process. Once all the directions are given, you both turn around and compare your designs. Do they look alike? Where did the student make mistakes? How could the leader have been more descriptive? Discuss the details and giggle over the differences, then switch roles. Its fun to keep track of how many of the designs match. THE SPECIAL HAT (Ages 4 to 11) What You'll Need: A hat. Cooperative play is the most advanced form of play a child can engage in. It involves two or more children using the same toys to work together for a common goal. This activity assists children who may appear bossy or inflexible when they play, when in reality, they just need support to let go of their anxiety surrounding novel cooperative play opportunities. Before your child begins to play with you, a sibling, or a friend, designate a leader who wears a special hat during cooperative play. The person wearing the hat chooses what theyll play and the rules of playing while the others follow along. Make sure to trade off being the leader and give all participants an equal amount of time wearing the special hat. SHARE THE PEAR (Ages 4 to 11) What You'll Need: Any item to hold and pass, and a timer. Sharing shows caring, and its fun! Sharing is a valuable play skill. Children who share well with their peers will inevitably learn to cooperate and make more friends. This activity involves playing a game called Share the Pear, which is essentially a spin on Hot Potato. This can be played with any item as long as its not highly preferred by your child. You want your child to be willing to share it. Set the timer based on how long you think your child can sustain their attention, and add time as they improve. You, your child, and anyone else available to play will simply pass the pear among the players until the timer goes off. The person whos left holding the pear loses and is out of the game. During the game, make sure to encourage your child to be a good sharer, which theyll want to do so they wont be stuck with the pear when the music stops. Read more
