In the evening, it’s time to eat dinner! We sit at the table and enjoy yummy food. Eating dinner helps us grow big and strong.
After dinner, it’s time for a bath. We splash in the water and get all clean. Taking a bath helps us feel fresh and ready for bed.
Next, we tidy up our room. We put toys back in their place and make everything neat. Cleaning our room makes it a nice place to play.
Before bed, we brush our teeth. We use a toothbrush and toothpaste to make our teeth shiny and healthy. Brushing our teeth keeps our smiles bright!
Now it’s time to read a book. We pick a favorite story and look at the pictures. Reading a book is a fun way to end the day.
Finally, it’s time to go to bed. We snuggle under the covers and close our eyes. Sleeping well helps us wake up happy and ready for a new day!
Did you know you can sing a song while you do these activities? Singing makes everything more fun!
Make a Routine Chart: Create a colorful chart with your child to display their evening and morning routines. Use stickers or drawings to represent each activity, like a toothbrush for brushing teeth or a book for reading. Encourage your child to place a sticker next to each activity as they complete it. This helps them understand the sequence of their routines and makes it fun to follow them every day!
Storytime Role Play: Choose a favorite story from your child’s bedtime reading and act it out together. Use toys or simple props to bring the story to life. This activity encourages imagination and helps children connect the joy of reading with their bedtime routine.
Routine Detective: Ask your child to be a “routine detective” for a day. Have them observe and note down (with drawings or simple words) what they do in the morning and evening. At the end of the day, discuss what they observed and how each activity helps them feel ready for the day or night. This encourages observation skills and helps them understand the importance of routines.
