Heres a kids' activity thats sure to become a household favorite. It offers your child a fun filled opportunity to use a set of mobility commands in order to achieve a specific goal. It requires plenty of strategy, so you're sure to have your child's full attention from beginning to end. It also offers enough variety that you can tailor it to keep up with your childs advancing skills. The objective of the game is for your child to navigate a robot through the house without causing it to malfunction. Youll need these simple things to get started:A start and finish pointA RobotA set of CommandsStart and finish point: use tape or string. Place one piece on the floor where the activity will startin a bedroom, for example. Place the second piece at the finish linein the kitchen, for example. Robot: mom or dad will work just fine. Take a sheet of red (or any color) construction paper and wrap it around your left forearm. Secure it with a rubber band or piece of tape. Take a piece of yellow (or any color) construction paper and secure it to your right forearm.Commands: these are the commandsForward, Stop, Red Turn, Yellow Turn. Forward means walk slowly forward. Stop means stop. Red Turn means turn 90 degrees to the left (because red paper is on your left arm). Yellow Turn means turn 90 degrees to the right (because yellow paper is on your right arm).A malfunction occurs when commands are given incorrectly:-The robot cannot turn while going forward. The Stop command must be given before the Red Turn or Yellow Turn command. For example, if your child gives the Forward command, and then a few seconds later gives the Red Turn command, the robot malfunctions and the game starts over. (Indicate a malfunction by saying something like, Malfunction, incorrect command, and then tilt your head forward and shut your eyes.)-The robot cannot be given the same command twice in a row. For example, if your child calls Red Turn twice in a row, then the robot malfunctions and the game starts over.-If an unrecognized command is given (such as Backwards), a malfunction occurs and the game starts over.When your child is able to navigate the robot to the finish line without causing a malfunction, the objective has been met. When you cross the finish line, use your monotone, robot voice to say something like, 'Congratulations! You have successfully completed the objective. It took you three tries to navigate the course without error. Will we resume robot command instructions in the near future?' Some suggested variations to keep up with your childs skills:-Create infrared zones. To do this, place squares of newspaper in various places along the course. If the robot steps on one of these, a malfunction occurs and the game starts over.-Play with a timer. The robots battery is low and it must get to the recharging center within three minutes or it will shut down. -Charge the robots battery with knowledge. Before the navigation part of the game, charge the robots battery with correct answers to questions. In your robot voice, ask your child questions that correspond with her skill level. For example, 'What is 2+1? What noise does a dog make? Etc.' -Reinforce left and right recognition by playing without the colored paper on your forearms. The turn commands will now be Left Turn and Right Turn. Of course, following directions can be just as challenging as giving directions, so be sure to provide your child an opportunity to play the part of the robot. Many other variations will pop up as youre playing the game. No matter the exact procedure, this activity reinforces a variety of skills and demonstrates once again that the best resource for fun and learning is good old-fashioned ingenuity.
