“Hop one, hop two, hop three—then stop.” The actual engine is notice number marker → perform three sequential body movements → count each movement → stop → choose. Emmitt owns the movements; Aralynn owns the spoken count.
Rhyme
Brave Puzzle Piece Jingle
Blueberry row—look and see;
One big play piece marked “Begin.”
Emmitt hopped one, then hopped two;
Aralynn counted, “One and two.”
Mossy log—hop number three;
Emmitt landed carefully.
Aralynn called, “Three—now stop!”
Emmitt stood with steady feet.
Lantern post—what shall we choose?
Tap three knees, or rest our shoes—
Or whisper silly, “Puzzle-pop!”
Then let the counting movement stop.
Puzzle numbers in make-believe play
Bounced tiny rhythms through the gray.
Hop one, hop two, hop three—then stop;
Count with bodies, then take a pause.

Ways to Join In
- Count one, two, three: hop, bounce while seated, tap a knee, press feet, nod, or watch.
- Stop: use stable feet, a secure seated posture, or relaxed hands.
- Choose: tap three times, rest, or whisper “puzzle-pop.”
- Participation may be spoken, signed, seated, standing, moving, or watched. No child must jump, balance near the log, remove shoes, or copy the exact movement. Use a dry stable area and grown-up support for real hopping.
