  1. Hide and Seek

    Share Share Post
    My favourite game is hide and seek. It is an outdoor game and any number can play. A player is selected to count. The player on whom 20 falls turns his back while the others hide. When they are hidden they shout out "cuckoo" and the person in the den tries to find them. If anyone is caught before he reaches the den, that person has to "lie" next time. If no one is caught, the last person in must lie.
