When we say “Sun” \u2013 the children jump up.
When we say “Rain” \u2013 the children bend down.
Practice these rules a few times until everyone catches on and reacts automatically.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

And when I say ‘Rain,’ don’t bend down, but jump up!”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
To challenge cognitive flexibility, make sure to say the command opposite to what happened previously (for example, “Sun,” and after two seconds, “Rain”).
