35 minutes · ages 3–8
Try this at home
We made two safe paths and taught one to a friend.
- 1Use shoes or pillows to make two ways across the room.
- 2Show a parent one way by pointing.
- 3Let them try, then tell them one helpful hint.
Stay on the floor. If it feels wobbly, make the challenge smaller.
Talk about wisdom
How do you teach an idea without taking over?
Look for this: The route they designed is safe, and a partner can follow the words.
The story
Scout lays two trails for a friend. Both are safe. He teaches one slowly, with words and a point.
Look, choose, then move.
