Tee and Mo Picnic Time

In this exciting game, available on the Playtime Island App and here on the CBeebies website, little ones can help Tee and his monkey mummy to prepare for a picnic. They will help get them ready to go out on their bicycles, dish up the picnic food, and even help get Tee ready for bed at the end of this busy day. This game will delight young children, while teaching them basic skills and improving hand-eye coordination.

Top Tip: You can help your child to relate what they have experienced on the screen to everyday life. For example, if they are playing a sorting game, then follow up it with a real-world game where you sort the washing together. Prepare a picnic lunch together after playing with Tee and Mo!
