0 a game played with very young children in which you hide your face, esp. with your hands, and then suddenly take your hands away, saying "peek-a-boo"
We came across a group of children who were laughing, joking, and playing peek-a-boo behind the tents while watching all the strangers who were walking around.
Almost as if playing peek-a-boo or hide and go seek.
For example, in the game peek-a-boo, parents initially cover their babies, then remove the covering, and finally register surprise at the babies' reappearance.

An old man plays peek-a-boo with an unseen person just outside the care center where she still works.
As infants become more skilled at peek-a-boo, infants gradually do some of the covering and uncovering.
She stares at her own reflection and covers her face in the same manner as the old man playing peek-a-boo.
In addition to peek-a-boo, pat-a-cake and so-big are other caregiver games that exemplify scaffolding and turn-taking sequences.
