Hopscotch Word Jump
Parent and child play a modified hopscotch game where they jump to squares labeled with simple words. The agent coaches the parent to observe different jumping patterns, balance during hopping, and coordination while combining physical movement with language practice.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Find a flat outdoor surface (sidewalk, driveway, patio). Use tape or chalk to draw a hopscotch board with 8-10 squares. Write simple words starting with 'F' in each square (frog, fish, fan, feet, etc.). Have pebbles ready for tossing.

The 3-step guide, with what to look for at each step, is for signed-in parents.
