Let's Go to School III
Parent and child play an imaginative school game where the child pretends to be a teacher with stuffed animal students. The agent coaches the parent to observe how the child recalls story details from the previous day and uses basic time concepts like 'yesterday' and 'tomorrow' — building narrative memory and temporal understanding through pretend play.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Space for pretend play with stuffed animals arranged as 'students.' Have books and simple school supplies (paper, crayons) available. Parent should have read a story with child the previous day. Child should be alert and engaged.
