Age range: 3-6

Theme Area: Skating Party at Home

Related Episode: On Thin Ice

Subjects/Skills: Pretend Play, Movement

Materials Needed:
Socks
A flat, slippery surface, such as a wood or linoleum floor.

Directions:
Invite your child to a "skating" party in your home. Put on some socks and head to a flat, slippery surface.

At first, just practice sliding around on the floor. Then encourage your child to try some different moves, such as spinning in a circle. Remind your child to keep the moves simple, so that she doesn't fall.

Challenge each other with new skating moves, such as sliding from side to side, or sliding on your knees. Encourage your child to think of some funny names for the skating moves, such as the "super duper twirling side-to-side."
