What is Missing? The Game

YOU WILL NEED:

A table or tray
A variety of small toys or objects from your home
A piece of material or tea towel

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Get different objects from around your home and place them on a table.
  2. Get your child to take a look at what they can see – you can encourage them to pick up the objects and talk about them, then cover them with a tea towel or a piece of material.
  3. Ask your child to look away whilst you remove one of the items, then take away the cloth and ask them to tell you what’s missing.
  4. Any player who doesn’t find what is missing does 5 burpees (or any movements of your choice: squats, crunches, jumping jacks, etc.)!

Start with fewer items and build up as your child improves and gains confidence. For older children, you might want to choose items in the same theme or all the same color, to make it that a little bit trickier.
