The children hide, the adult calls out 1,2,3 where are you, and the children call out 1,2,3 we're over here, then when found the children help the adult find the remaining children. This helps to promote good listening skills and to try and assess which direction the sound is coming from. Also it helps children to understand that at times it helps to call out where you are hiding so as you can be found. Forest Club is all about exploring and coming into contact with sometimes new experiences, so please let us know your child has any allergies.
