The children are spread around the room, dancing to music. When the music stops, they must quickly lie down on the floor and close their eyes. No peeking! An adult places a blanket or sheet over one of the children and says: 'Now you must guess: Who is under the blanket?'

The children open their eyes and try to guess who is hiding under the blanket. To give everyone an equal chance to guess, you can choose one child to leave the room and re-enter when the blanket has been placed over someone. That child then gets to guess first.

Whoever was under the blanket gets to be the next guesser.
