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. 
    • Once your child reaches you, switch roles, allowing your child to be the one to turn the light on and off.
