After watching a few mini's and tiny's at a recent competition, I have no advice for you but want to bless you for trying! They were SOOO incredibly cute but at that age they have the attention span of a gnat.
One little boy on one team lost his shoe and then lost his ability to go on. Bless his sweet little heart. The coach tried but he wasn't having it and left the stage in her arms.

Well thank you! We've learned that bribery works well (I.e. candy, bows, prizes) but it would be nice to do some games or something fun to get them MORE involved.....if that makes any sense?

Turn whatever their doing into a game or contest! Like tell them whoever can do their stunt the best gets candy or whoever has the best forward roll gets a sticker! That's what I would do when I coached little kids tumbling and it got them soooo motivated to want to be better!

My cp's mini coach makes going over marking for the routine into a game like musical chairs. When the music stops, you are out if you are not in synch. They seemed to enjoy it and definitely got their choreo down.

We call ours the "Awesome" box because they only get something out of it when they are being awesome at listening/paying attention or get a new skill
