Time More or Less

Ronnie just finished his homework and has 1 hour before dinner. He wants to do as many activities as he can in that time.

You can help Ronnie choose which activity will take less time so he can do the most number of activities before it is dinner time.

Which will take less time… riding a bike around the block or watching a TV show?

Fun! He’s off! He’ll see you when he gets back from riding around the block.

Okay, which activity will take less time? Jumping rope or watching a movie?

Woo- this is fun, too! He is getting to do a lot of fun activities before it is dinner time.

Ronnie is ready for his next activity. Help him pick which will take less time. Playing a video game or drawing a picture with sidewalk chalk?

Thanks for helping Ronnie pick all these fun activities to do. He still has 30 minutes left to go to the park. Would you like to go with him? Let’s go!

What should we do? Would it take less time to run to that tree or read all his texts and notifications?

Wow- you are faster than Ronnie, you beat him!

Now, should we go on the swings or play a game on our handheld device? Which takes less time?

Swinging feels like flying! This is terrific!

Ronnie still has 15 minutes left before dinner and he rode his bike around the block, jumped rope, drew a chalk picture, raced you to the tree, and went on the swing. These short and active activities are so much better than screen time! Thanks for helping Ronnie pick them! He’s going to go spend his last 15 minutes talking with his family. Be sure to do something fun and active today, too!
