Ten Ways an Unprepared Adult can Try to Entertain and Unhappy Child.

1. Play ‘Where’s Mummy?’ Limited duration to this game and it starts to backfire when there is no answer to the question.
2. ‘How to open a backagon’ (I don’t know how to spell that and what it is—a ball that becomes a thing if it touches metal. But obviously just the ‘right type of metal’).
3. ‘Where’s B——?’ And other peeping games. Much more successful as able to locate the subject in the game.
4. ‘Crawly Fingers’. Aka ‘Tickles’.
5. Championship Standard Imaginary Chess.
6. ‘Blankey Superman’.
7. ‘Cat’s Cradle’. With the loose threads from blankey.
8. ‘Why are they here?’ Like the chess, this seems a one sided game when played with a two year old.
9. ‘Quieteys’. Who can sit still and say nothing the longest. That is, unfortunately, not a game that lasts long.
10. ‘Traces’. Tracing the patterns on the surgery window.
