creative approaches to routines

Hi guys
I'm really stuck on a question that asks to "plan & provide an active environment that fosters creative approaches to routines".
I'm thinking along the lines of how we can change our ways of stacking cups at mealtimes without them falling over etc. I'm probably way off track but I've got nothing else lol sorry.
I need to provide 3 environments.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks :)

No you are not. I would to hear more about what you do with the cups and why? Sound like an interesting example;I once changed my down -story time activity to a lie down with your favourite pillow/ comforter , I made sure I bring a large cushion for me too and we had a non sit down-carpet time/ story time. It was fabulous! Kids engaged better and they loved it. Home time is another routine you could tweak, for example, as kids waited for the bus, we used it a wind down transition time when they play an I wonder game. Do not over think it, keep it simple!
XOXO!
