The Game

Everyone knows the rules of hide-and-seek. The rules of reverse hide-and-seek are very simple, namely exactly the reverse of "regular" hide-and-seek.

Someone is chosen to go and hide. The other children must now go find him (or her). When they have found him or her, they sit down quietly. Just until everyone is found by the last searcher.

The one who found the hidden person first gets to be the hiding person in the next round.

Variation

Playing reverse hide and seek in a dark (camp) building makes it even more exciting.

As a leader, you must have checked the building for safety beforehand. In addition, during the game, keep an eye out for children who (may) find it a little too exciting.

Camp Variant

It is agreed in advance THAT reverse hide-and-seek will be played during camp. When to play it is not said.

During the week, someone takes the initiative and, without the others realizing it, goes to hide somewhere.

NOTE: Estimate the time of the initiative carefully. It is not convenient to start when most are still sleeping or during dinner which may cause you to miss dinner.
