Traffic Lights
Context: playtime
Setting: any location with space
Materials: none
Action:
Say to your child, "When I say green light, you can dance and when I say, red light, stop dancing!"
Start slowly using red light and green light to cue dancing and stopping. Give your child time to respond to each cue
Tips:
If your child doesn’t respond to your instructions, try, “Okay, my turn! Watch me..." Demonstrate dancing when you say green light and stopping when you say red light. Play a few rounds to demonstrate the instructions.
Try asking your child to do other movements if they aren't interested in dancing (e.g., covering eyes, putting hands in the air, laying down, etc.)
