Kili's Air Hockey Trick

I taught Kili a new trick involving air hockey. Check out her video with Truman's narration and read about how it was done.

Great job! Is there a verbal cue of any kind to get her to start the trick, or does she just know that she has to go to the hockey table because it is presented to her?

Mostly it is cued by the presence of the prop. But I do say "push" as a secondary cue. Actually it's kind of funny because she just stands there until I say "push" then she runs over and does everything on her own. The purpose of developing the "push" cue is to be able to apply the concept of pushing to other tricks more easily in the future.
