- Let’s play a game! First, let’s work together to hide a toy somewhere in the room.
- Now I’ll pretend to be your Teddy Bear looking for the hidden toy! I can’t see it anywhere!
- Shh! Don’t tell Teddy where the toy is hidden! Teddy will look in all the wrong places since he/she doesn’t know where to look.
- Can you help Teddy find the hidden toy? (Older children can give Teddy directions on where to look.) You knew all along!
