The Counting Walk
Pick one thing to count before you set off — red cars, yellow doors, dogs — and the same dull walk home turns into a race against your own guess.
What you need
- A route you walk anyway
- Nothing else
How to play
- Before you set off, choose one thing to count: red cars, yellow doors, dogs.
- Count out loud together every time you spot one.
- Guess how many you will have by the next corner and check when you get there.
- Change what you are counting at every crossing.
- Hold hands at the road and count the steps it takes to cross.
- Tell whoever is at home the final number.
