]]> 71588 2 33 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/183692/33.jpg Select someone to be &quot;it&quot; Select someone to be “it.” The person who is “it” has to find the people who are hiding.

]]> 71589 3 38 Tip When playing hide-and-seek with children, an adult is often a good person to be “it.”

]]> 71590 4 44 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/183692/44.jpg Everyone moves to home base Have everyone congregate in one place. This is known as home base.

]]> 71591 5 47 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/183692/47.jpg Start counting The person designated as “it” covers their eyes and begins counting to 10 or 20, or whatever has been determined to be a fair amount of time for everyone else to hide.

]]> 71592 6 58 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/183692/58.jpg Start hiding While the person who’s “it” counts, everyone else finds a place to hide. Once you’ve found somewhere to hide, stay there – it’s not fair to switch places!

]]> 71595 9 78 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/183692/78.jpg Tag someone to get them out After finding someone who has been hiding, the person who is “it” must tag the other person, to get them out. The first person to be tagged is “it” in the next game.

]]> 71597 11 97 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/183692/97.jpg Everyone tries to get home Another variation is to have people try to get back to home base. If they get home without being tagged, they’re safe. If they get tagged, they’re out.

]]> 71598 12 105 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/183692/105.jpg Finish the game and play again Regardless of which version you’re playing, once the game is over, declare a winner and the next person to be “it.” And play again!
