Flashlight Game

[15 Minutes]

Need a new idea to get your child to bed? This game will have your child begging to be tucked in.


You'll need:

• flashlight • assorted objects or toys (cup, paint jar, block, ball, etc.).

What to do:

  1. Place objects such as a cup, paint jar, block and ball in a a row near a wall.
  2. Turn off the light (make sure it is not completely dark).
  3. Have your child sit across the room from the objects.
  4. You name an object for her to find.
  5. Have her find this object and shine the light directly on it while you count to five.
  6. Take turns holding the flashlight and finding objects. With practice, your child should be able to locate things placed around the room.

How to use:

Any games you can play in the dark will help your child to realize there is little to be afraid of.

Let's Talk: Ideas to Explore Together.

  • Can you find five objects with your flashlight? Name them.
  • Can you shine a light on different objects and make up a story as you go? Tell me your story.
