I bought a cheap egg timer at Walmart. Today I set it for about two minutes and then hid it. I told Westley he had to find it before the timer went off. For younger children it was good that it made a soft ticking sound. He learned to be quiet and listen for the ticking sound and then search that area. If he didn't find it in time, it would ring, and then he was able to find it.
We played this seriously for almost an hour, taking turns hiding the timer (but Westley doesn't hide it very well, and if he does, he tells you where it is)
We even let Will find the timer once - but he was too scared to touch it.
I know Westley will request to do this one again - probably at 5am tomorrow morning!
