Howdy Partner

It's amazing how good the kids become at this game as the year goes along. The first time they play, kids are likely to give away the partner's name three times out of four.

Objectives

The children participating will be able to recognize voice of peer, recognize peer by feeling body and clothing, guess who a peer is from a given description, and take turns SE IV

Materials

Blindfold or paper bag (to go over child's head).

Procedures

1. Have children seated facing front. Seat one child on a chair, back to the group, blindfolded.

2. Point to another child to come up and say, "Howdy, Partner!" to guesser. The blindfolded child tries to guess from the voice who the partner is.

3. If he/she can't guess, have the other children give clues: "It's a girl. She has red hair. She plays with Jenny. Her name starts with B."

4. Let children take turns being guesser and partner.
