'1 2 3, Where are you?' is a hide-and-seek safety game that we play on every visit to the woodland. Initially an adult will hide and the whole group will find them. Over time the groups hiding (with an adult in each) become smaller and smaller until the children play the game independently, with adults supporting. On hearing '1 2 3, Where Are You?' the children respond '1 2 3, We're Over Here!' Playing the game: * encourages children to make choices about taking turns, where to hide and where to look for friends
