Overview
The children will play a night light freeze game as they recognize and produce words that rhyme with light, such as night and bright. 

Literacy Activity

  • Cover natural light and dim the lights.
  • Invite the children to find a spot in the room they’ll stay for the whole game.
  • Turn on the flashlight and have the children say, “Light!” and run, dance, or wiggle in place.

Activity: Light at Night 

  • To do this activity, wait until it is dark outside or cover the natural light in a room. 
  • Play a game similar to red-light-green-light, where you stand near the light switch in the room and your child stands at the opposite end. 
    • Turn on the light and have your child say, “Light!” while running toward you. 
    • Turn off the light and have your child say, “Night!” and freeze. 
    • When your child is frozen, if he or she moves or talks, he or she must take three steps back.
