Materials Needed:
No materials needed

Directions:
Invite your child to play a game of "Follow the Leader" with you. Tell her that she will be the leader. Let her know that to play the game, she will have to move her body in different ways, and that you will copy her.

Play for a few minutes in the traditional way. Then let her know that you're going to change the game a little-now, you are going to pretend to be a baby, and you won't be able to do anything that babies can't do. (If you have a real baby in the house to include in the game, even better!)

After you've played this way, talk about the differences between the games. Would it be fair to ask a baby to hop? How would you feel if you weren't able to do the things that your child was doing?
