Rope Stories

Children who have a fever love to cuddle up to you while you read to them or listen to tapes together. A child who has a mild illness can help you come up with a story. Take a long piece of rope and sit together on the floor. After making a circle out of rope, ask your child what it looks like and start writing a story. One of you can then change the position of the rope as desired and continue the story. For example, if a child looks at the circle and says: Sun, you start talking about a bright sunny day. If he says cucumber, then a new story begins. From time to time, by manipulating the rope, change the figures and come up with new stories or continue the previous one. Make a wavy line, a straight line, big and small circles, etc. You will get your imagination and your child's imagination working. The point of the game is to fool around and have fun.
