You will need a large beach towel, a sheet or blanket. Have the children sit in a circle on the rug with their eyes closed and pick one child to sit in the middle. Cover the child with the towel and chant, “Bug under the rug, bug under the rug, who's that bug under the rug?” Encourage the children to guess. Ask questions. “Is it a boy or girl? Who's missing?” Show them clues like a part of the child's shoe, then pull the towel off excitedly and say, “Alan was under the rug.”
