My dd is a slowpoke as well. Since she is old enough to tell time, I tell her she has until X:00 to be ready for XYZ. After that, we all move on, even if she has to put her shoes on in the car, not play with the other kids outside, whatever.
Can you use your handy dandy time out timer for this girl? Set it for 5-10 minutes and tell her she needs to be ready by the time the timer goes off or else she misses out on the fun?
