Impromptu means “done without being planned, organized, or rehearsed” but impromptu play needs a little planning ahead. Let us explain.
When we say “Impromptu Play” we mean adding a “play module” where you didn’t plan one:
- wait times you didn’t expect
- flat tire or other nuisance when you’d rather have fun than fume
- bumped into someone and you’d rather create happy memories than gossip or talk about the weather
- when you need to de-stress
- when you need a spurt of exercise
- when there’s something unexpected that you want to celebrate with a mini party like a new haircut, great news from someone, or a happy unexpected event
But in order to play, you usually require equipment to play with:
- snowman hat, scarf & face
- water pistols
- bubble wands & solution
- playing cards
- stick-it notes, note pad & pens
- bubble gum
- jaw breakers
- wobble ball
- inflatable ball
- frisbee
You get the idea. We keep an impromptu play bag of equipment in our car that changes with the seasons. And a small one in my purse.
