![]() ![]() The water pistols my own kids love are the mighty Super Water Guns! (check out the latest price on Amazon here.) We have had hours of fun in the garden with them. This one is definitely not for the faint hearted, and I’d probably only try this with older children. It’s basically a sneaky race back to the ‘blocko’ spot. The ‘seeker’ is going to try to tag all the other children. They are all going to try to sneak back and touch the spot (such as the tree) and shout ‘Blocko!’ If they do, then they are safe. The ‘seeker’ goes off to find the hiding children. This is the spot that the others are going to try to get back to. ![]() The ‘seeker’ is going to count at a designated spot (such as a tree or fence again). One child is counting, and the others hide. This was probably the number one hide and seek game when I was a child that we played pretty much daily. Keep taking in turns, and see who is able to hide for the longest. Then someone else could have a go of hiding. Older children (probably from about 6 upwards) could have some kind of timer for this game, and time how long it takes to find them. One person hides, and a whole team of people try to find them. There are all sorts of benefits to ‘risky play’ such as this that you can read about in this article that I wrote. They can then all run away and hide again.Īs long as the seeker doesn’t see this, then everyone is back in the game. However, children that are hiding can ‘free’ people in the jail by sneaking over to the jail and tagging anyone in there. The aim for the ‘seeker’ is to get everyone into the jail. Whenever the seeker finds someone, they have to go and stand in the ‘jail’. If you are indoors, it could be a particular room in the house. It could be a tree or next to a fence, for example. They count next to a designated spot that will also be the ‘jail’. This is another one that they really enjoy. If the ‘seeker’ sees the person hiding doing a wave, however, then they are found and come and join the seeking team. ![]() If the new ‘seeker’ is able to spot another child that is hiding before the main seeker sees them, then the two children (seeker and hider) can do a secret wave to each other.Īs long as the original seeker does not see this, the child that was hiding to begin with can now run away and hide once again. The seeker goes off to look for the others, and when they find anyone, that person will join them on the seeking team. One child is the ‘seeker’, closes their eyes and counts. This is a fun variation of classic ‘hide and seek’. ( Check out my ultimate guide to 25 examples of risky play here.) Hide and seek is form of risky play, where children get to experience being lost. This game taps into the enthusiasm children have for an element of danger, and of feeling lost or hidden temporarily. When you are found, you go to a waiting point until everyone else is found. Then the person that is on says ‘Coming to find you!’ and goes to find them. They stand somewhere and count to a specified number. It probably needs no introduction this one, but just for the record, here we go… ![]()
