  1. Games We Play - Hounds and Hares

    Share Share Post
    This game can be played by any number of children.
    The crowd is divided in two parties with the same number on both sides. Then one party run off and they hide. The "hounds" try to find them and catch the "hares" before they get into "den" which may be a gate or door or even a corner.
