Use the tap to create hopscotch squares in an open area of your home
You can use a coin, beanbag, ball, etc. with a picture of “Pop” on it. Have your child toss “Pop” into one of the squares, and see if they can make it across without hopping on pop (i.e., without using the square Pop is in)
Read “Hop on Pop” as your child goes across, having them try to hop with each word. Make it even harder by seeing if they can stop and balance wherever they are when they hear the word “Pop”
