It’s the Season of … Incredible Kids!

Tomorrow is Incredible Kid Day, but we’re starting our celebration early because there are so many amazing kiddos in the Noggin community — and we need a reason to celebrate right about now. Today, Noggin kids have an extra incredible kid power: when they say “SPRING!” everyone has to spring up and dance. 

Materials:

Optional magic wand (or magic spatula)

Steps:

Optional magic wand (or magic spatula)

1. Today, in honor of Incredible Kid Day, you have an extra incredible kid power: when you say “SPRING,” everyone in the room has to spring up and dance!

2. Let’s find or decorate a magic wand you can use today — it could be a kitchen spoon or something we create with supplies from home like a paper towel roll or a comb with ribbons attached.

3. Let’s test your powers! Say “SPRING!” and we’ll all dance. We might be dancing ALL DAY LONG.

Words to Use:

Dance – to move rhythmically to music
Incredible – extraordinary, very special
Power – the ability to do something or act in a particular way
Spring – Spring can be a noun that describes the season or it can be a verb (action word) that describes the action of jumping up suddenly

Simplify:

Skip the magic wand — just say the word SPRING and dance!

Stretch:

Talk with your Incredible Kid about his or her special power. How does it make them feel? 

Why:

Acknowledging how incredible your kid is and giving him or her a special power is great for having fun and building loving attachment between parents and kids.
