Spin and freeze

ages 2–5 · no materials · ~5 min · No cleanup
Set up

Clear three feet of floor space.

Show your kid (30 sec)

Spin in place three times, slowly. Stop. Wobble for comic effect. Repeat.

What you'll see

Kids will spin until they fall over. The fall is the funniest part to them. Older kids will count the rotations and try to spin faster.

When they want to go again

"Spin and freeze when I clap." "Spin like a leaf, spin like a tornado, spin like a sleeping cat." Add directional cues — left, right, slow, fast.
