Play guide
- 1Choose a natural pause near lantern making or during the official night-time stroll, without interrupting a workshop or blocking others.
- 2Each quietly chooses one lantern in view that they think the other person would like best.
- 3Count, 'One, two, three,' and point at the same time.
- 4Reveal why you chose it; a match is fun, and a surprising answer is fun too. Stop after one round.
Success signals
The parent and child discover a match, a surprise, or one new detail about each other's taste.
If it's tricky
If no lanterns are visible, use a colour, shape, or detail in the child's own lantern-making work if appropriate, or skip the game.
