Name a colour. They run. You sit down.

Bubble Chase
You blow. They chase. That is the whole thing and it works every time.
The most dependable outdoor activity for under-fives, and it needs one bottle of bubble mixture.
ما تحتاجه
- bubble mixture
- a wand
طريقة التنفيذ
- Go outside, or somewhere with a washable floor.
- Blow a stream of bubbles low and let them chase and pop them.
- Try blowing one very large bubble and everyone watches it silently.
- Count how many they pop before the batch lands.
- Let them try blowing, badly, for the last five minutes.
لماذا هذا مفيد لهم
Tracking a bubble across a space and timing a hand to meet it is real visual tracking practice, which underpins reading later. Blowing bubbles themselves is also useful breath control for speech development.
التعديل حسب العمر
1 to 2 yearsSit them down and blow bubbles towards their hands rather than expecting a chase.
6 to 9 yearsMake your own mixture with washing-up liquid and a little sugar and test the recipes.
السلامة
Bubble mixture is slippery on hard floors and stings eyes. Do it outside where possible.
