This was probably one of the best games we have ever played indoors. We played so many rounds that by the time we stopped, we were hot, tired, sweaty and quite happy to just sit at our sofa doing nothing but rest. And all you need is an alarm clock.
Initially I wanted to see if Sophie could locate the alarm clock by listening to the alarm. However, she liked it so much that we kept on hiding and seeking until I ran out of places to hide the alarm clock. And frankly, it was not as easy as it seemed. She would not have found it without any clues.
I like the way she put her hand to her ear and said, “sound” and then put her palms up to ask, “where?” as she ran around in search of the alarm clock. She also looked for it at places where it was hidden before. I took the opportunity to introduce the concept of “loud” and “soft” and it worked on her well. I definitely must think of new ways to play with her to help her learn.
Towards the end, Sophie realised that I would usually point my video camera at the location of the alarm clock. Thus, she conveniently came to me, looked through my screen and “found” it on the chair. That little “cheat”!
What a fun idea! I love that she figured out a way to cheat - what a smart girl!!
