Playing hide and seek

Hide and seek is the game that really fascinates the children. The game is played in the areas where there is lot of potential place to hide. The theme of the game is like that of cop and thief. Children since childhood love to act as cops and to seek the thief. Adults can play it too. If you have house large enough, then there is no need of any artificial set up to be done.

How to play hide and seek

Hide and seek can be best played in the areas which has got natural hiding places. Places such as forest, large houses and woods are best places to play hide and seek. The game starts with all players gathering at central location. One player is given the den of the game. Later there are two halves of the games. Initially it is the hiding where all the players, except the one with den hides. And in second half the seeker that is the person with the den attempts to find all of them. The hiding of the players begins with the seeker using some method to avoid seeing the other players. That is done by covering eyes or turning away from the direction of the players. This is done while counting out loud for a predetermined number of seconds, often with the aid of a word that takes about one second to say. Meanwhile other players scatter to hide at different locations. When the counting of the seeker is completed he or she announces the start of the seeking by shouting a phrase as "Ready or not, here I come". Seeker then begins a search for the hiding players. Players may move to other hiding spots while seeker is not looking. Players are supposed to come to the central position to tag the seeker before he or she finds them out. If the seeker is tag by the player the den would be repeated on him. The next game's begins with the change of seeker. Seeker is usually the first player that was found by the initial seeker.

Rules of game

There are rules as such for the game. But the area that is used to hide should be fixed and predefined. There should be minimum three players. The game is best played outside.
