Find Missing Rudolf
By: Sophie Booth
This game aims to develop children’s listening skills and team work in a fun and engaging
way.
Before children enter the space you will need to hide a toy reindeer for the children to find.
Make sure you have chosen a place that is not too obvious as you don’t want to the game to
be finished too quickly.
Tell the children that Rudolf has gone missing and they all need to work together to find him
so he can go back to the North Pole to help Father Christmas. Children will need to be very
quiet and listen to the jingle bells which you will shake loudly when they are getting close to
Rudolf and shake quietly when they are getting far away. Make sure you demonstrate these
sounds before you begin the hunt.
Let the children go on a hunt, encourage children to look and move around the space
together and remind children they need to be quiet to hear the jingle bells.
