Hide And Seek Safari

Hide And Seek Safari
Ages: 4 and up
Number of players: 2 or more
I first came across this game several years ago when I was a full time caregiver to three children under the age of 7. They had a blast with this game, and it entertained them for quite a while! It is sort of like the game of "hotter-colder," but more high tech. The way you play is, one person hides the animal somewhere in the house or yard or whatever area you're playing in. Then someone else uses the wand to find the tiger. The wand has five lights on it. When you start getting a little closer to the tiger, one light will turn green. The closer you get, the more lights will turn green. When you get really, really close to the tiger, it will start beeping!
The only annoying thing is that it only comes with one wand, so really only two people can play at a time,,, the one hiding the object, and the one looking for it. Of course, you could take turns. You can also buy an extra wand or two.

They also have a version for littler kids, or those who have trouble understanding the lights on the wands for the first game. In Hide And Seek Safari JR, one person hides an animal, and the other person tries to find it using a wand. But instead of using a light system, this game uses sound. When the wand starts to get close to the stuffed animal, the animal "hears" it and starts to make noise. The player then follows the noise in order to find the stuffed animal! This version could probably be understood and played by children as young as 2 years old.
