Scooter's favorite by far! He also plays hide and seek. He will try to be very still next to an object and he seems to like it if I make a fuss about trying to find him and then suddenly "discover" him in his hiding place.
When I first got Scooter, we did a lot of "monkey see, monkey do" games. I'd move my head side to side and he'd copy me. They he'd do it and I'd copy him, etc. We still do this sometimes, but more often he's right near me when he is playing.
Scotty likes to stand on my hand and stretch, and I'll copy his stretching -- this seems to amuse him. Sometimes he will play catch with a wiffle ball. He does try to initiate more rough and tumble games with my husband, but I just won't go there with him. He also bites my husband and I'm not sure that there isn't some correlation, although it doesn't generally happen as a direct result of cooperative play.
