A morning routine is a set of things we do every morning. Here are some things you might do:

Elmo and Smartie play a game to put the steps of brushing teeth in the right order. Here’s how you do it:

Elmo’s adventure teaches us why morning routines are important. By having our own routines, we learn to be responsible and ready for the day. Morning routines help us feel good and do our best. Just like Elmo, we can celebrate every time we learn something new!

  • What is your favorite part of your morning routine, and why do you like it so much?
  • Can you think of a fun way to make your morning routine more exciting, like Mr. Noodle’s dance?
  • Why do you think it’s important to do things in the right order, like brushing your teeth? Can you think of other activities that need to be done in a certain order?
  • Morning Routine Chart: Create a morning routine chart with your child. Use pictures or drawings to represent each step, such as brushing teeth, getting dressed, and having breakfast. Encourage your child to put the steps in the order they do them each morning. This activity helps them understand the sequence and importance of each task. Ask them, “Why do you think it’s important to do these things in this order?”
  • Role-Playing Game: Pretend to be Elmo or Mr. Noodle and act out different morning routines. Let your child choose a character and decide what their morning routine might look like. Encourage them to add a fun twist, like dancing while getting dressed. Afterward, discuss how each routine was similar or different and why routines can be unique for everyone.
  • Routine Detective: Go on a “routine detective” mission around your home. Ask your child to observe and note down what family members do as part of their morning routines. Encourage them to ask questions like, “Why do you eat breakfast before going to school?” or “What happens if you forget to brush your teeth?” This activity helps them see the practical application of routines in everyday life and understand their importance.
