How the game continues

  1. Look for raindrops, a puddle or sunshine.
  2. Listen for rain, wind or thunder.
  3. Choose one detail and describe it.

You are done when

After the last find, close your hand and say: “Mission complete!”

If you get stuck

If nothing appears, change the colour, shape or place. Skipping is not losing.

More rounds

  • The child gives clues to the adult.
  • Look only for tiny or giant things.
  • Describe every clue without pointing.

Safety

Observe only by a closed window or from a safe distance. The child does not climb on furniture.

Window reporter
