A popular EE game for crepuscular creatures and for playing with the adaptation of echolocation is bat and moth. It probably has several different names. Essentially, via echolocation (clap-clap) the bat (student) finds the moth (student) in a dark, sometimes blindfolded, situation.
Well, when walking Axis last night, I watched a little bat soar above a lamppost.
Straight lines and then suddenly, like the moth, the bat dropped from the sky about two feet. Snack?
Again and again, the bat soared, passing 20 feet on either side of the light, scooping up unsuspecting bugs as they made their pilgrimage to the light.
"Clap clap" I said, every time the bat ducked to swoop at it's prey.
The sun set, and we made our way back to the house.
