This perceptual game, in which you draw simple pictures on your child's back, is always a lot of fun. It also promotes language skills and your child's cognitive development. Introduce this game as a little ritual before bedtime, for example. Use your finger to draw a simple image, such as a sun or a clock, on your child's back. The child's task is to guess what object you have drawn. Assist your child in guessing by offering clues about the object's shape, color, function, or typical location. Letters or numbers your child already knows can also be written and guessed on the back. Then switch roles and the child draws something on your back. Drawing on the back is an entertaining game and a welcome opportunity to relax together.
