Read together
The sun sat high over the sea. Friends finished hopscotch in the sand and a quick
game of tag. "Now play hide and seek," called Jin, "but the robot comes too."
A duck waddled past. A goat from the petting path chewed a rope. A pig snorted
from a farm cart parked nearby. A cow watched as if judging the rules. A rabbit
hopped under a bench and became the first good hiding place.
Jin tucked the robot behind a bucket. "Count to twenty!" Everyone scattered.
Someone tried to play soccer with a soft ball between rounds, then ran back to seek.
When the robot was found, they cheered and started again. The sea kept shining.
Tag, hopscotch, soccer, and hide-and-seek filled the afternoon until the goat
wandered home and the duck returned to the water.
Talk about it
Reflection
Which games did they play before hide-and-seek, and where did they hide the robot?
