I happened across the book Follow the Leader by Erica Silverman one day at the library and thought it would be the perfect book to inspire some fun, indoor play time.
The book is the story of two brothers playing follow the leader with the older brother leading the way. In the end, the older brother learns that his younger brother would love a turn being the leader, which was something my oldest sometimes (ahem… a lot of times) can use a reminder about.

And, when that was done, it was time to get creative with our movements. This is the time to have some fun and mix it up.

Opposites: go from fast to slow, loud to quiet, high to low. How many opposites can you act out?
