One of the most familiar countdown commands is, “ready, set, go!” Oftentimes you can hear this phrase used in speech therapy to bring joint attention into the activity as well as giving the child a familiar phrase that they can imitate or produce to signal a request. But the fun doesn’t have to stop at ready, set, go. Here are some other examples that can be used-
💜one, two, three
💙up, up, down
💜down, down, weeeee
Pausing between the words gives your child the opportunity to produce it spontaneously due to the familiarity of the phrase!
