What has a blue body, four legs, a balk head, and a gaping mouth? Answer,
a mailbox. This is a guessing game in which you try to provide as few
clues as possible about an object you see. The children continue to ask
questions until they get the answer. You can play this game anywhere!
During your walks, in the house, in the car etc! ----the first child to
get the answer selects the next object to be "discovered". For
younger children, keep the activity simple. (ex) you might give clues for
a yellow house with a cat in the window by saying, "I'm thinking of
something big and yellow where a kitty lives." You'll find a world of
clues right at your door step. From street signs and cars to inch-worms
and birds....it's all fair game for this game!

Walk the neighborhood looking for
dandelions. When you find them, help the children to pull them up from
their base--getting the roots if you can--the kids will think they are
pretty and you will be "weeding" the neighborhood at the same
time!
