I will describe the game and how to play it, and then go over

some general rules so no body gets hurt.

List open-ended questions that you plan to ask children to prompt their
thinking. (For infants and toddlers, list comments that you might make
concerning the activity.)
Where are we at?
Why do we stop?
What color did I say?
Why are we doing this?
