Kids may be rascals, but in Elementary they will probably not be so daredevil'ish as to leave the classroom to make a joke. Not enough puberty hormones yet.
Wouldn't wanna risk staying for detention on the last day now would we?^^
Desk would be too close, though it largely depends on the type of desk. Many of the desks our teachers had in school preclude this option entirely, as they are often closed from the front and you could only get in under there from the chalkboard-side.
Mrs. Kringle may be tired, but her feminine intuition would have made her register some little bastard sneaking through her immediate proximity. Though they don't always know women are more in tune that way I find.
Billy would opt for the closet, feeling super smart and invincible about this most obvious choice from an adult's perspective. Not to mention half the students now giggle and eyeroll in his direction...
Which reminds me of what I wanted to blog about next, THANKS <3
Finally, Billy's "little" body size may be very advantageous in this situation. If he were the heavy kid in class, he would neither have made it to the closet in time, nor fit in there right away without making a lot of commotion.
Assuming all options are viable (i.e. that Billy fits in the supply closet) I’ll go with this one.
He wants to play hide and seek, not cause undue mayhem and possibly get into too much trouble. Plus, all the classrooms I’ve see in the US have the door close to the teacher’s desk. I’ll give Mrs Kringle the benefit of assuming she’d realize the main door is being opened: chalk on blackboard doesn’t make that much noise, and she must have at least some peripheral vision. Besides, she’s a grade school teacher so she must constantly be on her toes in case someone who should be in class wanders out and someone who shouldn’t be there wanders in.
So that rules out Option 3.
I’m tempted to go Option 2 simply because that glint in the children’s eyes might suggest a collective prank on the making. Which could start with Billy under the teacher’s desk.
But the text specified Billy wants to play hide and seek and no one in the classroom seems to be snickering, so they either didn’t notice him move or can’t see that he’s not where he’s supposed to be.
Even Billy doesn't want to get in trouble on the last day of school, so leaving the classroom is no option. And if Mrs. Kringle's writing at the chalkboard, hiding under her desk is just too risky. Added bonus: the supply closet has SUPPLIES and stuff to entertain him.
Billy is in the supply closet. In all the classrooms I've ever been in, the chalkboard, classroom door and teacher's desk are located in the front of the room. Mrs. Kringle would have seen Billy's movement out of the corner of her eye if he hid in either of the other two places. 🤗
I would have to say option 1. She would have possibly spotted him sneaking under her desk. Opening/closing the door quickly/quietly, would have taken too long. Being antsy, he would have wanted to be quick moving.
Although Billy is restless the hallway isn't the best place for hide and seek! I choose option one! The supply closet...perhaps Billy will think the hallway isn't hidden enough...and the teacher will surely have seen him sneaking under the desk since she was just writing on the chalkboard.
it doesn't say where any of the choices are located. But I am assuming that the door is close to the blackboard and the supply closet is at the back of the room. So, into the closet, he goes. The door is too close to the teacher.
(Thank you for organizing this game!!)
I choose Billy hiding in the supply closet. He probably will be sniffing the fruit scented markers or going through the sticker collection while waiting.
I choose option 1.

Closet it is, number 1.
Lol! You gave this considerable thought 😁💯
Oh just lots of experience...
😎
😁🤣😉
Children love to hide in the closet. So I think this is where he will be.
I hope I'm not too late: I choose the supply closet, ### Option 1

I choose supply closet. If hide and seek is the game, this is the best hiding spot.
Option 1: He's totally in the supply closet.
Even Billy doesn't want to get in trouble on the last day of school, so leaving the classroom is no option. And if Mrs. Kringle's writing at the chalkboard, hiding under her desk is just too risky. Added bonus: the supply closet has SUPPLIES and stuff to entertain him.
I say, option 1. The closet.
