I See You!

Today in Buddies we played a new game!  It was awesome!  It was kind of like hide and seek but better!  The object of the game is to get as close to the person who is it and still not be seen.   Here's how you play it.
1.  One person is it (we had a big buddy and  a little buddy acting as one unit!)
2.  They stand in one spot and count to 30.
3.  Every one hides.
4.  The person who is it cannot move but they can pivot around on one foot.
5.  As they spot people they call their names - if they are right the person has to go and sit on the carpet.  If they aren't the person stays hiding!
6.  Once they can't find any more people they can ask for hints - they might call out "animal names" and the people who are hiding can make a sound.
7.  Once they can't find any more people they call out "numbers" and hold up their hand showing either 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 fingers.
8.  The people who are still hiding try and peek to see how many fingers the person who is it is holding up.
9.  This gives the person who is it another chance to catch them.
10.   Once the person who is it totally gives up they say "show yourself" and every one who is still hiding shows themself. 
11.  The person who is closest to the person who is it and can say the number of fingers they saw wins the game!

We loved it!  It is amazing how well you can camouflage yourself in a classroom!
Here are some of us hiding   It was hard for Mrs. Betts to take pictures because she didn't want to give away our hiding spots.

Henry and Luke are "it"

Dillon and Maxim hiding right behind where Luke and Henry are standing.

Nik and his buddy trying to see how many fingers are being held up!

Can you spot the people under the desk?

It's amazing where you can hide!

Where is everyone?

Have you ever played a game like this? What kind of games do you play in your classroom?
