Family Photo Peekaboo

What you need

• a few printed photos of family members
• a tea towel

How to do it

1. Put a family photo face up on the floor and cover it with a tea towel.
2. Ask 'where's Grandma?' and lift the tea towel together.
3. Say 'there she is!' and name her.
4. Swap to a new photo and play again.

Why it matters

Peekaboo is already their favourite game, and a face they love underneath makes the reveal even better.

What they're learning

Family names

Every lift comes with a name.

Finding hidden things

Knowing the photo is still there under the cloth.

Turn-taking

You hide, they find.

What to look for

Notice them lifting the tea towel before you ask.

A tip

Photos printed on card last longer than paper ones. Keep an eye on corners going in mouths.
