Cushions and folded towels become safe islands while the carpet turns into bubbling lava. Your child plans a route across the room and crosses it without touching the ground.

What you need

  • Sofa cushions
  • Towels or small blankets
  • A clock or phone timer

How to play

  1. Spread the cushions and folded towels across the floor, about one big step apart.
  2. Explain the rule: the floor is hot lava, only the islands are safe.
  3. Let your child cross from the door to the sofa without touching the carpet.
  4. Take one island away each round and check whether the route still works.
  5. Time a crossing and try to beat the record together.
