Materials Needed:

• None

Participants: This activity is intended for adult/child interaction.

Directions:

2. Say a new word as you move to a new step.

Learn More: Don’t have stairs or steps? Lay pieces of tape on the floor and say a rhyming word as your child hops from one piece of tape to another.
