    "Hide and Seek" is an outdoor game. All the players go to a certain place. It is called a 'den.' One or two of the players stay in the den and the others go out to hide.
    When they are hid they let the two in the den know by shouting.
    Then the two in the den go and look for the others. The first two they catch go to the den and are the seekers next time.
