Who Knows?

One of us peeked in the box. The other did not. Who knows what is in it?

  1. 1Put a toy in a box and close the lid.
  2. 2One of you looks inside. The other keeps their eyes shut.
  3. 3Ask: who knows what is in the box? How do they know?
  4. 4Swap who looks, and ask again.
4 minutes You need: box, toys

Why it helps: Other minds: working out that people know what they have seen, and not what they have not.
