Play the “Big Time Game” to make waiting time fly
by. Hold up an object—a magazine, an item from a
bag, a toy. Ask your child, “Can you find something
bigger than this?” After he/she does, then ask, “Can
you find something smaller than this?”
When you take turns posing questions, this game
becomes a back and forth conversation about size. It
provides a chance for your child to focus on and
explore the idea of size – a concept he/she can use to
organize his/her understanding of the world.
