← A Morning Page with a Grandchild · Lesson 2 of 3

The two-minute game

About it

Each page has one small game: find three red things, count the spoons, say a word that rhymes with cat. Two minutes, then stop while it is still fun.

Stopping early is the trick. A child who wants more tomorrow is the best result a game can have.

One question

The game is going well after two minutes. What do you do?
