Peek A Boo!

Peek-a-Boo is a classic game to play with babies. Even the littlest babies can enjoy peek-a-boo. Jonathan (22 months) enjoys playing with his little sister (3 months).

Just in case you're not familiar with Peek-a-Boo- you basically cover your eyes  while your child is looking at you and then uncover them and say "Peek-a-boo!" As your child grows older, he or she can play along with you!

Variations:
One way we play is by asking "Where's Mommy? Peek-a-boo!" This gets me grins from Grace.

You can also play with a translucent scarf- cover your face with the scarf and then remove it quickly and say "Peek-a-boo!" Sometimes I use the scarf to tickle Gracie (or Jonathan).

We've recently enjoyed playing Peekaboo along to a track on the album BabyFace. You can hear a sample of the song here.

Another favorite is playing Peek-a-boo with these words:

Peek-a-boo
Peek-a-boo
God above...


Peek-a-boo
Peek-a-boo
Gives us love!


Peek-a-boo
Peek-a-boo
I love you!


Peek-a-boo
Peek-a-boo
God does, too!
