🏀 March Madness: Toddler Edition – Game Rules 🎉And Prize Info

✅ Objective:

Fill out the toddler bracket, predicting which behaviors you will see more of over the course of one week. Each day, you will honestly track your toddler’s antics and advance the winning behavior in each matchup. The parent with the most accurate predictions at the end wins! Send a photo of completed brackets to [email protected] and the top 3 WINNERS receive a PRIZE!

📝 How to Play:

1️⃣ Fill Out Your Bracket

• Each participant receives a bracket with typical toddler behaviors paired off into 16 first-round matchups. Complete the form as you would any march madness bracket! If this is your first, continue reading on! 

• Take a guess which behavior will occur more frequently in your home during the week and advance that behavior to the next round.

• Continue making predictions until you reach the “Toddler Champion” – the behavior you expect to see the most overall. I know what I am picking for my VERY independent toddler, hint "I do it myself" :)

• Example:

  • Round 1: Screaming "NO!" vs. Throwing food on the floor → Guess: Screaming "NO!" as winner

  • Round 2: Screaming "NO!" vs. Dramatic floor flop → Guess: Screaming "NO!"

  • Final Toddler Champion: Screaming "NO!" 👑

2️⃣ Track the Toddler Madness

• Throughout the week, track your child’s actual behaviors in real life. The whole bracket will take 4 days to complete! 

• After each day, you will mark the winner of any behavior matchups that occurred.

• If neither behavior happened, mark it as a tie or make a judgment call of what you typically see in your home!

3️⃣ Scoring

• 1 point for each correct first-round prediction

• 2 points for each correct second-round prediction

• 6 points for each correct third-round prediction

• 10 points for correctly predicting the Toddler Champion

💡 Example:
If you've accurately guessed the Champion behavior and made several correct predictions along the way, they’ll have a higher score.
