Materials and Prep

• Toy slide or picture of a slide
• Paper and crayons
• Space for physical activity

No prior knowledge needed, just bring your curiosity and energy!

Activities

• Draw Your Own Slide: Draw your dream slide on a piece of paper. What colors will it have? How many twists and turns?
• Act Out a Slide: Pretend you are sliding down a giant slide. Show how you climb up and then slide down with excitement!
• Slide Measurement: Measure how long your toy slide is using crayons or any other object. How many crayons long is it?

Talking Points

• Slides are like ramps that are fun to slide down! Remember, safety first!
• "When we go down a slide, we use gravity to help us slide down smoothly."
• "Slides can be straight, twisty, bumpy, or even covered in water! Each one offers a unique sliding experience."
• "Measuring the length of a slide can help us understand how long or short it is. Let's measure together!"
