1. A method of playing, comprising:
- first mechanically interacting, by a first player, with a first toy at a first location;
transmitting a signal from the first toy to a second toy responsive to said mechanically interacting; and
exhibiting of a mechanical behavior of said second toy to a second player, at a second, remote, location, responsive to said first mechanical interaction,wherein the first and second toys are in different rooms.

Abstract
A plurality of individual toys, at least a first one of which generates acoustic signals and at least a second one of which receives acoustic signals. When the second toy receives acoustic signals from the first toy, it responds, for example, by generating a sound and/or controlling its motion. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the toys flock and/or form a procession of toys which follow a leader toy, for example a mother goose and a plurality of following and preferably quacking goslings.

16. A method of operating toys, comprising:
-
generating a human detectable signal for play purposes, by a first toy; detecting the human detectable signal generated by the first toy, by a second toy; analyzing the signal by the second toy; and performing a play function by the second toy, responsive to said analyzing of the generated human detectable signal, without receiving any other command signal from the first toy. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A toy kit comprising:
-
a first child-safe toy adapted to generate first signals and to exhibit a first behavior; at least one second child-safe toy adapted to receive second signals via a receiver and to exhibit a second behavior, responsive to the received second signals; and an intermediate device adapted to receive the first signals from the first toy via a receiver and transmit the second signals via a transmitter to the second toy responsive to the first signals. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28)
