Who is Missing?

Introduce this game by starting in a group sitting down. Provide little plastic people. Let the children give the family role name to each one: "This is the Mom. This is the Grandma. etc."

Tell the children to close and cover their eyes. Take one away and have them open and uncover their eyes and ask "Who is missing?" Once you have played this with them a few times, tell them you are now going to play "Who is missing" together!

Have an area near you where one child can stand and not be seen by the other children (behind a table, etc.).

Have all the children stand up, turn around (with their backs to you) and close and cover their eyes.

Choose one child to hide behind the spot you have chosen and have the others guess who is missing!

This is a favorite activity of mine!
