Age range: 3-6

Theme Area: Following Directions

Related Episode: Max's Comic Adventure

Subjects/Skills: Art; Movement

Materials Needed:
Chalk
Stone

Directions:
Draw a hopscotch board on the ground. Draw picture clues in the spaces of the squares instead of numbers. For example, you might draw an arrow to mean move to the left, and two hands to indicate clapping.

Invite your child to play picture hopscotch with you. You can model how to play by going first.

To play, toss your stone into a space on the board. Then hop down the board until you land in the space.

Now you have to "read" the picture clue and follow its direction. For example, if you land in the space with the two hands, clap your hands together.

When you've finished, pick up your stone and hop back down the board. Now it's your child's turn to play.
