The object is to make as many boxes as possible. When your child makes a box, put her initial in the box. When all the boxes are completed, the person with the most boxes wins. Guess What I'm Doing Act out something that your child can try to guess, such as brushing your teeth, dialing the telephone, making a sandwich. Do simple things that are familiar to your child.
