- Game. Hiding a pencilHiding a pencil is a simple indoor game. Any number of children can play it. One takes a pencil and goes into an-other room to hide it leaving about one inch of the penci to be seen, and then tells the others to come in. When one player sees it he must say "I spy" and sit down on a chair. When all players have seen the pencil the first who saw it now takes the turn to hide it and this is continued many times.Josie Flood,
