Who's Hiding?

What you need

• four photos of family members
• a tea towel

How to do it

1. Lay four family photos in a row and name each person together.
2. Ask them to close their eyes while you cover one photo with the tea towel.
3. Ask 'who's hiding?' and let them guess.
4. Lift the tea towel to check, then swap so they hide one for you.

Why it matters

Remembering who's missing from a row of faces they love is a memory game with the best pictures.

What they're learning

Remembering

Working out who has gone means holding the whole row in mind.

Family names

Every guess is a name said out loud.

Taking turns

They get to hide one for you too.

What to look for

Notice them scanning along the row before they answer.

A tip

Print a few photos or use ones from the fridge, so the game is ready whenever you want it.
