Cuckoo or hide-and-seek is one of the games Maria loves the most at this age. Usually it is me who hides behind the fitball, door, blanket etc. After a while with a cry: “Cuckooooo!” I show up, but every time in different place of the thing I hide behind (sometimes, though, in the same place for the game to become more interesting). Maria is excited and laughs loudly when she guesses the exact place I peek out.
Another variant of this game, Maria also enjoys a lot, is that I cover her with a piece of cloth asking "Where is Maria?", and then remove it saying "Here is Maria". Sometimes Maria is faster than I and removes the cloth herself.
We play this game several times during the day but for a very short time. I would say that this game trains attention of the child. Moreover, I have noticed that her reaction got much better, she is faster in identifying what and where is going on.
