PLAY A GAME OF “I SPY”                                                                    

  1. The first player looks at something but does not tell what it is.  Just think of it in your mind.
  2. She gives one clue.  She might say “I SPY something green.”
  3. Other players take turns guessing. “Is it grass?”  They keep guessing until someone gets it right.

Inside or outside or in the waiting room at the doctor’s office: you can play “I SPY” almost anywhere!

GAMES: FAMILY HIDE AND SEEK

Try a family game of HIDE and SEEK.  This is a great game indoors or out.  One person covers their eyes and counts while the others hide.

CHANGE IT UP:  The one covering her eyes doesn’t have to only count numbers!  Other ideas are:

  1. Sing the ABC song two times (with eyes closed)
  2. Clap their hands ___ times. 50? 30? 20? (with eyes closed)
  3. Do 50 jumping jacks (eyes open for safety, turn back to other players)
