Family Activity: Bubble Control

WHAT YOU NEED: Bubbles

WHAT YOU DO: 

  • Before the Activity: Have your child stand in front of you.
  • During the Activity: Blow the bubbles toward your child. Encourage them to stand still and wait for you to say “pop.” Then, they can try to pop all the bubbles before freezing again. Repeat for as long as your child is interested.

WHAT YOU SAY: 

  • Before the Activity: “Let’s play with bubbles! While we play with them, we’re also going to practice self-control.”
  • During the Activity: “I want you to be super STILL while I blow the bubbles. When I say ‘pop,’ then you can move and pop all of them! Ready?” (Do the activity.)
  • After the Activity: “Great job! You did so good with self-control while waiting to pop the bubbles! Even when it’s hard to wait, Jesus can help us have self-control. Who can help you do everything?” (Jesus can help me do everything.)
