Find the Baby Animal
This game is similar to hide and go seek except the person makes the noise of the animal that the other player is trying to find. For example, you hide and the animal your child is trying to find is a baby sheep. You would say "baa, baa" as a hint for your child so that they can find you. Switch places and play with a different animal.
Wagon Train
Tell your child that in the west wagons were used to move things around. Show them a picture if you can find one. Explain that wagon trains were when lots of wagons all followed each other on their way to a specific place. Say you are going to pretend you're in a wagon train and that your child needs to do what you do. After a while switch places and let your child be the wagon train leader.
