This slightly tweaked version of "Hide and Go Seek" hones listening: a key skill for kindergarten.

This scavenger hunt game is simple, but it's fun, and it will arm your children with the directional vocabulary they should master in time for kindergarten.

Tell your child you want to work on kindergarten readiness skills and she's not likely to jump up and clap. But turn it into a game and it's a different story.

In this game, your child and his friends will need to use their observational skills as they try to figure out who's got the peanut!
