Say the plan out loud, then do that plan.
35 minutes · ages 3–8
Try this at home
We said our plan out loud and then followed it.
- 1Say “over” or “around” before you pass a pillow.
- 2Do the thing you said.
- 3If you change your mind, say the new plan before you move.
Stay on the floor. If it feels wobbly, make the challenge smaller.
Talk about wisdom
Why do people trust someone who does what they said they would do?
Look for this: The action matches the words they chose.
The story
Scout tells the trees, “I will go around.” Then he does exactly that. Matching words and feet is his practice.
Look, choose, then move.

Gather and story · 4 min
- Scout tells the trees, “I will go around.” Then he does exactly that. Matching words and feet is his practice.
- Today your mouth goes first. Say the path, then let your feet do that path.

Warm-up · 5 min
- Echo plans: coach says “walk and stop,” children say it, then do it.
- Point and name two stations.
- Practice a clear voice, not a shout.
Skill practice · 14 min
- Choices stay the same: over the noodle, or around it.
- The child says, “I will go around,” or “I will step over.”
- If their feet do the other thing, they smile, reset, and match the words.
- Two rounds so the sentence gets easy.
