This favorite children’s game probably originated in hunting societies as children were learning to stalk prey. Hide and Seek is usually played with one seeker who counts to 20 while the other children hide. One variation is Chain Hide and Seek. When the first child is found, he takes the seekers hand and goes with him to find the others. Each child joins the chain as he is found.
Another variation is Sardines, in which one person hides while the rest count. When a seeker finds the hider, she joins him at his hiding place. The game continues until all seekers are crammed into one hiding place like sardines in a can. The first seeker to find the hiding spot is the hider in the next game.
