Sardines Game

This can be played indoors or outdoors, wherever there's lots of places for kids to hide.
Safety first. If played outside be sure to supervise where the kids hide.

Keep them away from streets, ponds, lakes, swimming pools and other unsafe areas.

The hiding space will need to be big enough for all the kids to fit in.

Ideas are behind a big tree, in a closet, behind curtains.

Begin with all but one player closing their eyes. That one player must hide while the others count to 50.

After the counting is done, one player searches for the hiding player. The other players keep their eyes closed and count to 50 again.

If the hiding player is found, the searching player hides with him in the same place.

If the searcher doesn't find him, he's out of the game.

Play continues with each counter seeking out the hider(s).

When each counter has been a searcher, the game is over.

The winners are the kids who found the hider and have joined him in the hiding place.

This is a fun game that you may set a time limit on. If you have a large group of kids, you may want to set a 20 minute time limit.

This game is a very fun game that kids can play at school.

Teachers are constantly looking for new games for the kids to play at recess or while they are in gym class.

Games like these introduce originality, exercise and creative thinking skills as they figure out where the hider is hiding.
