Copy and Extend Movement

Description

You do a short sequence of movements, your child copies it, then adds one move of their own for you to copy back. The pattern grows as you take turns, and the back-and-forth is the fun.

Play guide

  1. 1Stand facing your child with a little clear space around you both.
  2. 2Do a short movement pattern of two or three moves (clap, stomp, spin) and ask your child to copy it.
  3. 3Once they copy it, invite them to add one new move of their own on the end.
  4. 4Now you copy the whole pattern back, including their new move.
  5. 5Keep taking turns adding a move, seeing how long a pattern you can both remember, then reset and start fresh when it gets too long.
