sleuthing

Create a game in which there's a mystery to solve (e.g., "The Case of the Missing Keys"). Take an object, say, the keys, and hide them. Then, write a series of sequential clues on small pieces of paper and place them around the house directing your child to the next clue. You can hide the clues or leave them out to be noticed, making it a little easier. Kids love being able to find the missing object!
