To wake me up, gently open my shell, or tip me completely upside down.
HELPFUL TIP: I can only be awakened from DEEP SLEEP mode by opening my shell by hand or
turning me upside down. I will not wake up when I am tilted side to side.
LET'S PLAY GAMES
There are lots of cool ways to play with me. We can make up our own games, or play those that I
already know.
GAME (1) KNOCK, KNOCK
Let's do knock, knock jokes. This game will really make you laugh. You know how it goes. I say "knock,
knock." You reply, "Who's there?" I respond. You then say the same word back to me, but add the word
"who?,"making it into a question.
To Play:
(1) Rub my antennas until I respond and wait until I finish speaking and moving.
(2) Rub my shell, either right side or left side and wait until I finish speaking and moving.
(3) Rub my antennas until I respond and wait until I finish speaking and moving.
(4) Rub my shell, either right or left side and wait until I finish speaking and moving.
(5) Rub my shell, either right or left side and wait until I finish speaking and moving.
You'll know that I am ready to play when I say, “Shelby play, knock-knock.”
Here's an example.
Shelby says: "Knock, Knock."
You answer. "Who's there?"
Shelby says: "Butternut."
You answer: "Butternut who?"
Shelby says: "Butternut drop me!"
(Hey, no one likes to be dropped.)
Are you ready to laugh? I have dozens of knock, knock jokes to tell you. When you are done playing
Knock, Knock, simply pick me up and turn me upside-down. I'll say, "Me finished."
GAME (2) ASK SHELBY
In this game, I'll answer your questions that have yes or no answers.
To Play:
(1) Cover my eyes until I respond.
(2) Uncover my eyes, and wait until I stop speaking and moving.
(3) Cover my eyes until I respond.
(4) Uncover my eyes, and wait until I stop speaking and moving.
(5) Rub my shell, either right side or left side.
You'll know that I am ready to play when I say, "Shelby play, Shelby see."
Ask your question. To hear my answer, rub my antennas. I'll keep answering for as long as you ask
questions and rub my antennas.
When you are done playing Ask Shelby, simply pick me up and turn me upside-down. I'll say,
"Me finished."
GAME (3) HIDE AND SEEK
I can also play hide and seek with you and your friends. Here is how we do it. Someone hides me. Then
the rest of you try to find me before time runs out. I will make quick sounds to help you find me. After
all, it's important that you find me. No one wants to be lost.
To Play:
(1) Cover my eyes until I respond.
(2) Uncover my eyes, and wait until I stop speaking and moving.
(3) Cover my eyes until I respond.
(4) Uncover my eyes, and wait until I stop speaking and moving.
(5) Cover my eyes until I respond.
(6) Uncover my eyes, and wait until I stop speaking and moving.
(7) Rub my antennas.
You'll know that I am ready for someone to hide me when I say, "Shelby play, hide Shelby." Then be
quick because you have only one minute to hide me.
If you find me in less than 3 minutes, YOU WIN! I will then say, "Whahoo! You win. Me finished."
If you don't find me in less than 3 minutes, you loose. I will then say, "Banana, nana, nana. Me finished."
