The steps
-
Think of an animal and keep it secret.
-
Your child asks questions you can answer with yes or no: "Does it have four legs?"
-
Count the questions. Can they guess it in ten?
-
Swap over: they think of the animal and you ask.
Keep an eye on
Play it sitting down, and keep it kind: nobody is teased for a wrong guess.
To keep it going
Change the theme: things in the house, or characters from a favourite story.
