We have been playing the game with baby girl for quite sometime now. And it is only in the last few months that she has got the drift and of course has now given it her own drift.
She "hides" behinds curtains, suddenly pulls up sheets over head sitting on the bed or simply looks the other way resolutely to "hide". The most hilarious ones are where she just covers her eyes with her hands or just closes them- she would like us to believe, she is not visible and hence, we should start the "seeking", which goes like this - we call out her name loudly many times looking here and there and then talk among ourselves about where she might be making up stories.
E: N, have you seen K?
N: I think she went out (bahar). Today is Sunday, she must have gone shopping.
E: How has she gone?
N: She took the bus.
E: Did she take an umbrella along, its going to rain....so and so forth...
If we are delayed in "seeking" her, or are occupied elsewhere, she takes on the job herself. She starts to say her name repeatedly going "Anu, Anu, Anu... (that is what she has decided to call herself!)". Not only this, when asked where she is, she also answers saying "Bahar", all this from where ever she is "hidden". And so that it is not very inconvenient, she is available to answer all questions that we may have for her, all the while being hidden and speaks out the answer of "what did the doggie say?" etc., promptly.
I am sure she is enjoys the game but of course not as much as us.... what fun!
