-
Have the recipient of the back tickle lay down face first as if they are going to receive a back rub.
-
This works best on bare skin (tickle factor) but either way is cool.Advertisement
-
Say out loud, "Going on a treasure hunt..."
-
Simultaneously with your finger spell out "going... on... a..." by tracing big letters (one on top of another) on their back.
-
Draw a big treasure box. (as you say "treasure hunt")
-
Say "X marks the spot"
-
- simultaneously draw a big "X" and "dot" the spot right in the middle by lightly stabbing it with your finger.
-
Say "Three miles down and..."
-
- Draw a big tree, slowly draw a line down and a big arrow.
-
Say "... a question mark!"
-
- Draw a BIG question mark and dot it. (you could make a popping noise with your mouth as you dot it if you like sound effects.)
-
Say "A pinch..."
-
Pinch 'em on the side (lightly! this isn't supposed to be painful)
-
Say "A squeeze..."
-
Squeeze 'em a little. (Shoulders or side, whichever works best.)
-
Say "A tropical breeze..."

Blow on neck. Optional, give 'em a little kiss on the neck first and then they can really feel the breeze.

-
Quickly tickle them all over their back!
-
20By now they are surely giggling, so tuck 'em in, give 'em a kiss and say "G'night".
