Camoflauge

This a great outdoor game to play in a park or hiking with a group of kids.

The Game

1 person starts as the “IT” closes their eyes and counts to 20 holding their arms outstretched and their palms to the sky as everyone playing then hides. The “IT” person then calls out “Food and Water” with their eyes closed they begin counting again down from 20. At which time everyone playing runs from their hiding spots and has to tag the outstretched hands of the “IT”, and then run back into hiding.

Then the “IT” gets to open their eyes and look around, they can not move from their spot, but they can turn in a circle. If they see any of the other players they are to call either their name or the colour of their clothing. These players are now in jail.

Now the “IT” closes their eyes again and starts counting from 19, then the process repeats and then they count from 18, 17, 16… and so on till they either catch everyone, or they get to 0.

For the next round, the first person found gets to be the “IT” and the game can go on.

Modifications for Gyms, Indoors, and COVID friendly:

Instead of tagging the person’s hand have the kids run and tag a place or a wall when Food and Water are called.
