Here's a game that can help children deal with separation because in their play, they are the ones in control of going away and coming back.

Materials:

• Card table or coffee table
• Blanket or sheet
• Cardboard tubes
• Toy cars, trucks

Directions:

You can make a tunnel by covering a card table or coffee table with a blanket or sheet. Children can crawl in one side of the tunnel and then come out on the other side, creating a variation of the game of peek-a-boo. They may also want to make a tunnel for cars and toys, using cardboard tubes left over from paper towels or wrapping paper, making the vehicles go away and come back again.
