Game Description

Hide-and-seek is known almost all over the world and is one of the most favorite games of all children. With the help of the counting or the lot, the one who leads is chosen - he will look for all the others.

Encouraged players can give hints to other players when it is worthwhile to run, to catch a bang, and when it is worthwhile to sit: "Ax ax - sit like a thief!" - It means not to stick out and "Saw-saw - fly like an arrow!" - it means you need to quickly find yourself caught.

Also, caught players ensure that the driver does not stand in one place and just wait for the players, but look for them. The players while sentencing: "Do not cook porridge on the spot!".

Examples of playing hide and seek ...

• The driver, selected by the reader, plays in a conditional place with eyes closed. This place is called "con." While the driver loudly counts up to 20-30, all the players hide in a certain area. After the end of the bill, the driver opens his eyes and goes in search of those who hide. If he sees someone from the hidden players, he loudly calls his name and runs to the stake. In a sign that a player has been found, you have to knock on the wall against a wall or a tree. If the found player reaches the end and knocks there before driving, then he is not considered caught. He steps aside and waits for the game to end. The driver must “tap” as many hidden players as possible. Next time, the player who was found and “caught” is the last one to drive. (Or, by decision of the players, first.) Every time the driver moves away from the horse far away, the hidden players can sneak up on the ball and knock there. In this case, they will not be considered detected.

• At the beginning of the game, everyone gathers together, then the driver, facing the wall, loudly counts up to 100 (or another number). Others are hiding at this time. Having counted up to 100, the leader goes to look for those who hide. Sometimes before it is supposed to say "one-two-three-four-five, I go [all of you] to look." Having seen him hiding, he should be the first to reach the place from where he began the search, and touch the wall with his hand, saying the agreed words that differ in different regions (“check”, “pack-help”, ”“ pou-shoots ”,“ kule-cool ” , "Hand-fat"). Everyone hiding tries first to do the same. The next driver is the one who hid, who was salted (“checked”) first, and if they did not salt one — the same as last time. You cannot hide behind your back or near the driver.

In the west, there is also a common version of the game, which is called “Sardinki”. In this embodiment, one is hiding, and everyone else is looking for him. Having found those hiding, the player joins them. The game ends when the last player joins everyone else. He is declared the loser and usually hides as follows. Sardines are often played in the dark.

Types of hiding

Twelve sticks

They put a plank on a brick or flat stone so that one end touches the ground and the other hangs above the ground. Twelve sticks (twigs) are laid on the bottom edge of the board. Leading kicks on the free end of the board. While he collects the scattered sticks and puts them on the board again, the rest of the players hide. The driver starts the search and, finding someone, runs to the place where the board is located, in order to “pound” the found player (“Knock, knock, Sasha!”). If any of the players will outrun the driver during the search, run out of their shelter and scatter sticks, the driver will have to collect the sticks again, while everyone else will hide. The player found last becomes driving.

“The driver kicks his foot on the free end of the board” If the driver had done this, he would have tried so that the wands would not fly far away! Someone else jumps to the end of the board, so that the sticks are scattered like a fan - the longer the “carrier” collects the sticks, the farther the players will be able to scatter and hide more safely.

Moscow hide and seek

Play outside. The driver turns to face the wall, all the others are behind him. One of the players pokes a finger in the back of the driver. He turns around and tries to guess who it was, and then sets the task - for example, run around the house, jump on one leg to the fence, etc. If the player is guessed correctly, he performs the task. If the driver makes a mistake, he performs the specified actions himself. Everyone else is hiding at this time. The found players who drive must “bang”, as in ordinary hide-and-seek. The first found becomes driving.

And yet: while the driver tries to guess who touched him, all the others bang themselves on the chest and shout: "It's me, it's me, speak to me!"

Invisible

The beginning of the game repeats simple hide-and-seek: all but one are hiding. However, the players tend to find a place as close as possible to the one who leads them, and then quietly jump out and “knock” themselves. Among those who succeed in “banging themselves”, the one who hides closer to the leader than others wins. He drives the next time.

Ordinary hide and seek

The simplest rules are known to all. The driver becomes face to the wall or tree, closes his eyes and ears, counts aloud up to one hundred, and then asks: “Is everyone hiding?” If silence ensues, the driver says: “I'm going to look! Ready or not, here I come!"

While the driver thinks, everyone finds secret places for themselves in the area limited in advance. Starting a search and finding someone, the driver runs to his wall or to his tree to “pound” a found player (the driver says, for example: “Knock, Mike!” Or: “Wand for Olya!”). If the driver misses and the player himself before he reaches the seine and knocks on it, the player will be considered as not found. The first participant found and caught is now leading.

Sardine

Selected by lot is hidden somewhere in a large area or in a large house. After a while, everyone starts looking for him. The one who finds him should not give him away, but hide next to him. The next one, who finds them, is also attached next to each other. In the end, the last participant in the game has to look for all the players, wondering at what place such a large number of people have hidden.

For the baby there is no concept of time and consistency of objects. If mom is gone, then it is forever. Moreover, care is equal to the loss of eye contact. Therefore, the first hide-and-seek is a game “Koo-ku”, when mom closes her eyes with her hands (hides), and then is. For the baby brings joy not hiding, but finding the mother, the restoration of contact with her. The baby feels the joy of the fact that mom has not gone away.

Over time, the child begins to cover his face with his hands or a diaper, hiding from his mother. Hide-and-seek at such an early age is a way to constantly strengthen the bond with mom.

Also, the baby learns the principle of constancy of the world. For the child's psyche, the world disappears when the child closes his eyes. “I don’t see you, it means you don’t exist” - formula of baby’s thinking. Playing hide and seek just helps to overcome this formula and understand that the world remains the same, even when you don’t look at it.

Hide and seek after year

As in the case of an infant, it is a great joy for a child to find or be found. Thinking child develops. Hide-and-seek helps him in this: after all, it is necessary to set a goal for himself (search for an object or a mother) and achieve it, which is not always easy, it is necessary to apply diligence and effort. Thus, hide-and-seek helps shape the processes of goal-setting and develop the child’s perseverance.

But the most important thing is that hide and seek is a time of active positive communication with mom. Enriching the life of a child with such positive emotions is very useful for his development.
