How to try it
At a playground toddler slide, line two children up at the steps. Say \"your turn\" as one goes down, then cheer for the friend who goes next. Wait together at the bottom until the slide is clear.
Materials
No special materials listed.
Safety note
Have one grown-up for each child. Touch the slide first and skip it if it is hot, remove scarves and hood cords or drawstrings, use a low toddler slide, send one child at a time feet first, keep the bottom clear, and stay within arm's reach.
Save this idea
