Age range: 3-6

Theme Area: Ways to Wait

Related Episode: Roller Coaster Dragon

Subjects/Skills: Creative Thinking

Materials Needed:
A line to wait in

Directions:
The next time you have to wait in line with your child, ask her if she can think of some ways that will help pass the time. Listen to her suggestions. You might also want to suggest a game of telling a story together.

Explain that you are going to take turns adding to a story. For example, you might begin, "I'm going on a picnic, and I'm bringing a banana." Then your child would answer, "I'm going on a picnic, and I'm bringing a banana and a pickle." Continue taking turns, adding picnic items to the list.

You can use other story starters, such as, "I went to the zoo and I saw…" "I planted a garden, and I grew…" or "I was standing in line when I met…"
