"Where's Wally?" ( alternative title Where's Waldo? is a series of children's books created by British artist Martin Handford. They need to find a certain person - Wally - in the picture, which shows a lot of people. Wally is dressed in a striped red and white sweater, wears glasses, a hat with a tassel, and leans on a wooden cane.

The search, of course, makes the child concentrate as much as possible on finding Wally (and the artist deliberately complicates the task by adding distracting details). But also during the search for Wally (and sometimes also his friends, the dog and the things they lost), at the same time you can have a conversation about what is happening in the picture, about who is doing what, why and why.

You can arrange a game among the children looking at the picture: one thinks of a character and describes it with suggestive clues (this character walks down the street, he has a yellow hat on, he is sad, for example), while others try to find him.

As an option: the one who made a wish does not say anything, but can answer clarifying questions with “yes-no” answers (Is this a man / woman / cat? Is he walking / lying / sitting? etc.).

Of course, it's best to search directly in the books, some of which can be found on Ozon.ru. For example, in the book "Where's Waldo? The Fantastic Journey"
(http://www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/3895352/?partner..) Wally finds himself in a fantasy world in which he needs to find a large list of things, the list is given, in addition to his own friends to be found on every page. Designed for ages 5-9 years old.

There are also editions translated into Russian: “Where is Wally now?” - the hero travels through time different countries(http://www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/5563584/?partner..) and “Where is Wally now? The Book of Miracles” includes a city of clowns, a confectionery factory, and a toy store (http://www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/5563563/?partner..).

But if there are no books at hand yet, practice searching for Wally on scans from books (do not forget to download them in full).

An excerpt characterizing Where's Wally?

The crowd, crowding together, began to stir, and hats were quickly taken off. Princess Mary, lowering her eyes and tangling her feet in her dress, went close to them. So many varied old and young eyes were fixed on her, and there were so many different faces, that Princess Mary did not see a single face and, feeling the need to suddenly talk to everyone, did not know what to do. But again, the realization that she was the representative of her father and brother gave her strength, and she boldly began her speech.
“I am very glad that you have come,” Princess Marya began, without raising her eyes and feeling how quickly and strongly her heart was beating. “Dronushka told me that the war ruined you. This is our common grief, and I will spare nothing to help you. I am going myself, because it is already dangerous here and the enemy is close ... because ... I give you everything, my friends, and I ask you to take everything, all our bread, so that you do not have a need. And if you were told that I am giving you bread so that you stay here, then this is not true. On the contrary, I ask you to leave with all your property for our suburban area, and there I take upon myself and promise you that you will not be in need. You will be given houses and bread. The princess stopped. Only sighs could be heard in the crowd.
“I am not doing this on my own,” the princess continued, “I am doing this in the name of my late father, who was a good master to you, and for my brother and his son.
She stopped again. No one interrupted her silence.
- Woe is our common, and we will divide everything in half. Everything that is mine is yours,” she said, looking around at the faces that stood before her.
