Pretend play with your child
GAME: "Move It!" - Play a game with your child where you take turns choosing a body part and demonstrating a movement. For example, you can say "elbow" and then show how you can bend and straighten it. Your child then tries to copy your movement and adds their own body part and movement for you to copy. Play until you've covered all body parts or until you run out of ideas!
