12/6-12-10 Game

As a child and growing up my friends and I would get together and play many games. One of the games I enjoyed the most is hide and seek. Everyone knows how to play hide and seek and it is a lot of fun. We would all get together at my house and wait until it got dark outside. Once it was nighttime we would begin to play. We would pick someone to be “it” first and have them go into the center of the yard and count to 50. This gave everyone else enough time to run away and find a descent place to hide. It was important to make sure the counter was not peeking because that would ruin the game and not be fair to the rest. Once the person was done counting they would get up and start searching for the friends. But in this hide and seek, once you were found it wasn’t over. You had time to run to the safe spot where you couldn’t be tagged by the person looking. The safe spot was in the center of the yard and was a tree. If you made it to the tree before you got tagged it was great because you didn’t have to be it. Who ever got tagged would be it and have to repeat it all over again. This was a lot of fun as a child while hanging out with my friends and having so much time in the summer. It would be very interesting to play now and see how it would turn out.
