- Describe their experience using more descriptive words and adjectives, such as "exciting", "bumpy", or "twisty".
- Practice giving and following instructions using prepositions, such as "climb up the ladder", "sit beside the slide", or "slide under the bridge".
- Create a story or narrative about their experience of going down the slide, incorporating action verbs, descriptive words, and sequencing.
- Read or listen to books about playgrounds or slides, discussing the actions, characters, and settings in the stories.
- Engage in pretend play, taking turns being the slide operator and using language to describe the actions and movements during the play.
