A few weeks ago we were on the precipice of an Aurora breakdown as we waited for our turn on a choo-choo train that seemed as though it would never come. The sun was hot, the humidity was high, and emotions were tightly strung.
Luckily, I remembered that I had a camera in my pocket, and we invented the Body Parts Photo Shoot game.
The rules are simple. I suggest she point to a body part: “Aurora, point to your eyebrow.” I snap a photograph as she identifies the designated body part. I play back the picture so that she can see it. Often she re-identifies the body part: “Aurora’s eyebrow.”
Since I most always have a camera or at least my cell phone on me, in the weeks since we created this activity the waiting game is now a fun one to play!
