小朋友待在家中的時間久了，社交生活減少，缺乏外出走動的機會，少不免對腦筋靈活度有所影響。不如嘗試花少許時間，與孩子在家中一起用手指去旅行，刺激想像力之餘，亦不失為一個培養親子感情的好機會。
預先在地圖上畫上孩子於疫情完結後最想去的地方，然後由孩子主導整個旅程。在過程中，你可以陪伴孩子，兩個人加起來四隻手指一起在路上走；每到達一個目的地，請逗留一會，與孩子聊聊有關目的地的事情，例如：「為什麼你想到動物園？」、「你最想跟誰一起去動物園」，再想像你們到目的地的感受：「我們終於到達動物園了！你有什麼感受？你想先看什麼動物？」等。
題問的時候，以開放式問題為佳，讓孩子有探索的空間和可能性，同時避免批判性的回應，嘗試從孩子的角度理解他/她的世界。
用手指走路時，想像手指就像雙腳，不妨根據心情調節步伐，一起享受手指去旅行的樂趣！
It doesn’t feel good not being able to go out for months. We get less chance to move our bodies around and to do things we used to do. Why not take on an imaginative trip with your kids together while staying home?
Let them take the lead. Finger-walk together with them to places they’d love to visit after the pandemic has passed. Whenever you arrive a spot, pause a bit and have some conversations around the places. Ask open questions to help them engage, like ‘What do you want to do in the zoo? Who do you want to go with? How does it feel to be there?’ etc.
Enjoy the fun of finger walking! You may change the walking rhythm according to how both of you feel visiting the places!
