1. Sit in a quiet space with Didi or Appa. 2. Ask them to whisper five simple instructions (like 'clap twice' or 'jump once'). 3. Listen carefully and repeat the instructions back. 4. Act out each instruction one by one, without looking at anyone. 5. See if you can remember all five without asking again! 6. Swap roles: let Didi or Appa follow your whispered instructions.
