Hey Everyone!

Do you remember those brilliant games you played as a child before you were allowed a mobile phone? This week Artstorm themes conjure up those games again. I really hope you have fun with your artwork and enter as many times as you like :)

It's 'Childhood Games' Week!!

Source

A child (“it”) closes their eyes and counts to an agreed number while the other players hide. When the counting is over, the “it” child calls “Ready or not, here I come!” and goes searching for the other kids. The player found first will be the next seeker and the player found last is the winner.

In France, hide-and-seek is referred to as “jeu de cache-cache”; in Israel, it is called “machboim”; in Greece, “kryfto”; in South Korea, “sumbaggoggil”; in Spain, “el escondite” and in Romania “de-a v-aţi ascunselea”. Throughout South and Central America, this game is known under different names according to country: “tuya” (Bolivia), “escondidas” (Chile and Ecuador), “cucumbè” (El Salvador and Honduras).

In Nigeria, children play a combination of hide-and-seek and tag (called “oro”) in which the seeker stands in the centre of a large circle drawn in the sand/on the ground and tells other players to hide. Then he goes searching for them. When a player is found, he/she must run to the circle in order to be safe. The child touched by the seeker before reaching the circle is considered “tagged” and will be the next seeker.

There is a daily prize of 3 Steem.
