The Jumping Game
Your friend wants to jump on the classroom cots at naptime — join in, or stay on your mat?
Your friend started jumping. Now everyone is watching to see what you do.
Young children — ages 4 to 7 — who are learning what it means to make their own choices when a friend is doing something they're not supposed to do. Also for caregivers and teachers who want a story that opens a real conversation about peer pressure and doing the right thing.
The Name It First Experience
Your friend is jumping on the nap cots. It looks really fun. But you know the rule. And now your friend is waving you over. What do you do? In The Jumping Game, you get to be the one who decides. Every choice leads somewhere different — and you'll find out what happens at the end of your path. A story for children who are learning that the right choice is still yours to make, even when someone else makes it feel easy to do the wrong thing. The output is your Jumping Game Page — the choice you made and what happened next, in your own words.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What do you think the character is feeling when their friend waves them over?
- What would YOU do if your friend wanted you to jump on the cots — and why?
- Has something like this ever happened to you? What did you do?
