Things to Do While You’re Waiting: Get Physical

Keep children engaged when you have to wait

• Let’s pretend!
  Flop your bodies like rag dolls. Then be stiff like robots.
• Time to play!
  Fingerplays, clapping games, and songs get hands moving.
• Challenge time!
  Make up challenges: “Stand on one foot while I count to 10.”
• Snuggle up!
  Sometimes hugging is the best physical activity.
