What it is
Pick a backdrop, place trees, houses, rocks and more, then hide Olly behind, under, on top of or next to something. Choose clues from ready-made sentences, like "Olly is behind the red house". Olly checks that the clues lead to exactly one spot before the puzzle is ready, then you can test it and share it with your family or class.
What children learn
Positional language (behind, under, next to, between), describing things by color and size, and thinking like a puzzle maker: choosing clues that rule out every other hiding spot.
What it teaches
- Deduction from clues
- Positional language
