You’ll need
Things you probably have at home.
- a pillowcase each
Optional
- a start and finish line
How to play
Before you start: Mark a start and finish on a soft surface: grass outside, or a carpeted room.
Step into a pillowcase, hold the top at your waist and hop.
Help them in and let them try a few hops on the spot.
Race to the finish line. Walking in tiny steps also counts.
Race back, then race again with a stuffed animal tucked in too.
Finish with a slow-motion race where the last one wins.
What it helps with
Keep it safe
- Race on grass or carpet only, away from furniture. Never put a pillowcase over a child's head.
Make it different next time
- Do it as a relay with a sock to pass at the end.
- Hop around a course of cushions instead of in a straight line.
Cleanup: Pillowcases into the wash if you raced outside.
