Give Me a Hard One to Guess

ages 3-6

Activity Detail

This game is a variation of '20 questions' and we played this with all four of our kids when they were 3, 4 and 5 years old. You say to your child, 'I have a hard one to guess.' Then you start giving clues, one by one. For example, I would say to our 3 year old, 'It's small.' Then she would guess something. If it was not correct, I would give her another clue. 'It eats and drinks.' If she still didn't guess it, I would keep giving clues. When she finally guessed, 'It's our puppy,' she would be so delighted and want to play again. She was always asking 'give me a hard one to guess!' This game is most useful in restaurants and on road trips.
