13 favorite games of the Lil’ Duck
He’s such a playful little soul, and loves to play games, especially at 2am when the rest of us just want to sleep…. so here are thirteen of his favorite games!
- His modified hide-and-seek game, where he seeks
. - Peek-a-boo – a forever favorite, though it has now been expanded to covering the duck’s eyes and him covering our eyes.
- The tickle monster – now with retaliation from the “button ‘ickle” master!
- The clothes chase – any mention of clothes or diapers elicits a mad flight around the house, with him cackling all the while.
- 1-2-3-jump!! Off of anything, especially the edge of the pool and the coffee table – jumping from the coffee table to the couch is a fun thing too, apparently.
- Speaking of the couch, it’s time to play “toss all the pillows off the couch and cackle hysterically”!!
- Hop, bounce, leap – the couch and the bed both make great bouncing places, tho the floor works as well.
- Spin me around until I get super dizzy, then I’ll try to walk while laughing hysterically. Good for laughs all the way around!
- The alphabet game – we have to point to each letter as it is sung by the alphabet toy, over and over and over. He’ll also single out one letter to repeat over and over again….
- Lining random items up and counting them – then knocking them down and starting over!
- The kiss psyche – making kissy faces and noises, running towards you, then at the last second running backwards, laughing with glee.
- Turning the TV on and off and on and off and on……
- “Talking” to the dog – barking, whining, feeding her imaginary tea, playing peek-a-boo, etc.

I’m first! Yay! Good to read what I have to look forward to. Justice hates diaper/clothing changing time–it is a battle. He loves peeka boo and just recently started initiating it on his own. It is so much fun. He is a really cautious child so far and no jumping off things yet. Great stuff! My list is up!
He sounds like lots of fun. Well, maybe not at 2 AM, but otherwise;)
I love the “talking to the dog”. I called one of my friends yesterday, and her little girl was reading a book to the dog (which was in her lap)! Can you tell that I’m a dog person yet! Great list! Sorry, I haven’t been by more often….busy week!
Very cute list! Sounds like he keeps himself QUITE busy through the day!!
I can’t wait to enjoy these things… Thank you for sharing!
How wonderful that you have such a pretty list to remember… they grow up too fast, enjoy your little one. Only be careful with those jumps from the coffee table to the couch, lol! happy TT! mine is up.
Your #4… we play that game… and of course, it’s always most fun for the little one I’m chasing when her bottom is naked! She runs through the house giggling and squealing.
sounds like so much FUN! i love the kiss psyche – that is a hoot!
Yes.. Children can think of the most amazing things to make into a game. They require very little to entertain them. Usually, they just want our attention… After that they can come up with pretty amazing things…
Great TT! I can remember most of those games. The turning the tv on and off one drove me crazy.
OMGosh! I just love reading your posts about ‘Lil Duck. He is one terrific kid! Which means that you will have to keep on blogging about him for the next 15-20 years, ‘cuz I just have to know what kind of adult he’s going to grow up to be. He sounds like such a joy!
Great list! It’s important to play, some of those are on my list of favourites too. Enjoy your games!
My TT is about things that make me happy.
Those are cute, especially talking/barking to the dog! LOL
i had a love/hate relationship with the tickle monster.
I remember that tv game…. oh do I remember that one!
Happy TT!
Love the list. Our 4 year old still gives the dogs fake food… and boy do the dogs get frustrated when they realize there is nothing in that hand that is being offered to them… one day the dogs will get a clue
.
Happy TT!
Aw, sounds fun!
I remember those days! Have a great time with him and his games!!
Happy TT!
LMBO!…sound lil lil duck duck is a HOOT!…cant wait til my youngest like some of those games!
Babies are so sweet at this age! Makes me miss the young days of my children, and our grandchildren. Brings back lots of memories.
Check out my Thursday Thirteen
Awwww…Lil Duck Duck sounds like such FUN!!!
What cute games! Great list, HAPPY TT!!
Great TT. Thanks for sharing. Children are the most precious gift God has given us.
I’m up.
Turning the TV on and off is a lousy game, don’t you think? Now it’s a chore for the boo bear. He makes sure it’s off before we leave the house each time.
My TT is up!
He must have gotten the “Throw Everything off the Couch” game from me! That’s my favorite. That, and…swat valuables off the shelf.
Good times…
Great TT!
Awww! Lil Duck is so cute
His games are bringing back memories of when my 2 nephews were his age and loved nothing more than playing the “Pick up” game.
#13 is adorable! I so enjoy your blog Mama Duck
Ours are steal the ferrets’ water bottle and hide the remotes!
Ah, the clothes chase. My four year old and I play that daily. He’d go to preschool in his Spiderman underwear if I’d let him.
As always, a wonderful list…takes me back to when my kids were little! Have a great Thursday!
The clothes game- always a favorite. isn’t it funny what they can do to avoid sleep?
My little one is only 3 months 3 weeks and we are so looking forward to her mobility. LOL. Thanks for visiting my page.
I love the games they create for themselves. We can spend a fortune on purchasable fun, but their imaginations are the greatest entertainment in the world.

Those are some fun times! Thanks for visiting mine.
Good times!
My Thursday Thirteen is up!
Happy Thursday!
Haha! We play a lot of those same games! I love the job of parenting and playing these game!!! Thanks for visiting my TT!
Fun times! Great Games! Oh how I love the chase me around the house and spin me as fast as you can….Also the throw all the pillows off the couch and the kissing games. Love your list.
Happy Thursday!
We all love the tickle monster, too! It’s so cute to hear them laugh uncontrollably!
Sounds like your little one has a ball of a time!
Thanks for stopping by.
Kids are so much fun. Quack quack.
Wonderful games for Lil’ Duck! Just you wait and see… the games are going to get harder and harder. LOL! Katie is already playing Xbox. (there goes my TV yet again) Take care and great list. -Margie
Sounds like a lot of fun going on there!
My TT is up.
We had “tickle monster” when the boys were little … which has now evolved into “tickle fight” for the boys (and they do it now with Dad exclusively). You’d think we’d have the monster version for the girls, being younger and all, but they actually like to join in to the fight. Hey, what can I say, … I am raising strong girls that will always be able to hang with the boys … until one of them gets their hair pulled anyway.
Thanks for visiting me today. Happy TT!
Too funny. Kids are great. 8 & 11 create outstanding visuals. Thanks for visiting my site, too
We used to call dressing “Olympic Toddler Wrestling” because someone around here didn’t want to get dressed and would make me chase her around the house while doing it… I did manage to get the clothes & hair done while chasing her.
Thanks for stopping by the garden…don’t worry about the feathers in the tomatoes.
I tried to get in to your space earlier but I was having server probs… I think that photos number 2 and 3 are so cute, I wouldn’t mind the olympic games to get him dressed!
i see a bright comedic future ahead for your little guy!
fun list!
thanks for visiting my tt this week.
I so love little ones that age. They are so fun!!
Happy TT!!
My girls are beginning to talk to the dog too. (Well, in baby talk.) Hmmm…. I think they’ll say dog long before they say mommy!
Have a great Thursday!
hOW ADORABLE!
My TT is up!
