1. Eyes close, Hand open (Hide easter eggs!)

It will also help them develop their object permanence – an awareness that an object can still exist and can be found even if it is hidden, like the eggs in the backyard. So, this Easter Egg Hunting idea will make the kids enjoy hide and seek with a twist. At the start of the game, they will wear a blindfold, and their chosen song will be played. While the music is playing, they will dance, and when it stops, that is the cue for them to start finding the easter eggs laying around the backyard. Their main goal is to find the Easter eggs while the music is not playing. So they will only have a limited time to find the easter eggs. In this way, the kids will have the chance to enhance their strategic skills with a limited amount of time given per song. Ideally, this game is played in a wide backyard like some houses in Ayala Alabang and Sta. Rosa Laguna.
