Games vary a lot depending on baby's age, but for the most common age—6-12 months—let me walk you through it. At this stage, babies discover what things do, cause-and-effect, and learn about their own bodies.
One of the simplest and most powerful games is "peekaboo." Hide behind a blanket or your hand, say "peekaboo," and pop back out. This teaches object permanence—that something still exists even when you can't see it. You can repeat it with different faces and voices.
Another classic: stacking cups or blocks. Baby first knocks things down, then discovers they can stack. You help at first, and over time baby tries on their own.
Tactile play matters too: give baby safe objects with different textures—smooth plastic container, rough washcloth, slippery satin cloth. Let them mouth them (babies explore with their mouths). A plastic bowl, a wooden spoon, a piece of satin—it's all play.
Remember: the point isn't playing "correctly." It's that baby interacts with you and safely explores their world. If you're smiling, your baby is happy.
