Scarf Peek-A-Boo

What better day for a first post than on a blustery, rainy April afternoon?  

This is a simple peek-a-boo game that I made up to the tune of Frere Jacques.  Initially, I used a blanket, towel, shower curtain, or anything I could get my hands on to "hide," but eventually we graduated to scarves.  

For one child (fill in the blanks with the child's name):
Can you find me? 
(Can you find me?)
I see you!
(I see you!)
Where is baby _____?
(Where is baby ____?)
Peek...a...BOO!

Or, if you're using it for a laptime:

Can you find me?
(Can you find me?)
I see you!
(I see you!)
Where are all the babies?
Where are all the grownups?
Peek...a...BOO!

I typically drag out the peek-a-boo part until they can barely stand it.  Fun stuff!
