How to play hide and seek: the seeker's choice
It is a perfect multiplayer game. The truth is that the more, the better. But it can still be done with just three people. First of all, what you have to do is choose the player you are looking for. This can be done through various means such as the choice among all or through guessing a number, etc. It doesn't matter which one it is because after one it will always be followed by another, so they will swap places as the game progresses. The chosen one will be the one who must cover his eyes and start counting. It can be counted up to 10, up to 20 or whatever has been decided.
Set rules or limits
In addition to the player's choice of 'panda', it is alsoIt is time to establish a series of rules or limits in the game. Between them can be the distance when hiding or similar, so that there are no problems or discussions when the game begins. As we can see, it is not a closed game but each one can adapt it to their taste or to the taste of the group in general. Once the rules are set, then the game itself can be kicked off.
One player faces the wall and the rest hide
The wall will be the so-called 'house'. So we can say that it is the starting point of the game. It is there that a player covers his eyes or faces said wall and begins to count. He must not cheat or look where the other players are going. These will be hidden as best as possible so as not to be discovered at first. When the one who counts has finished he will say: 'I'm going' or 'I'm going'. This indicates that others have to be well protected to avoid being seen.
discover the hiding places
The player who has counted, goes out in search of the rest. You have to try to find them and if you do, run back to the starting point and there, shout the name of the discovered. A variant is to touch the player discovered. But we already say that each one can make the precise variations. If one of the players wants to save himself, then he will have to take advantage of a moment of inattention, run away and go towards the 'house' without reaching anyone else. There he will be safe and will have won!
Of course, when there are many players, any mistake on the part of the child who had counted could be quite harmful. Because the others will begin to leave for the house and the one who really loses will be the one who started the game. Whoever comes in last will be counted next when a new game starts. As simple as that!
