Hide and Seek Tag

Group Size

6+ players (works best with a medium–large group).

Supplies Needed

• Open, safe space (indoor hall, school grounds, or playground).

• Agreed boundary area (set limits so kids don’t wander too far).

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 – Choose the Seeker

• One player is chosen to be “It” (the Seeker/Tagger).

Step 2 – Counting & Hiding

1. The Seeker closes their eyes and counts aloud to 20 (or 30).

2. While counting, the other players hide somewhere within the boundary.

Step 3 – Seek & Tag

1. After counting, the Seeker shouts “Ready or not, here I come!”

2. The Seeker searches for the hidden players.

3. If the Seeker finds someone, they must chase and tag them.

Step 4 – Joining the Seeker

• Once tagged, that player also becomes a Seeker/Tagger.

• Both work together to find and tag the remaining hidden players.

Step 5 – Game Ends

• The game continues until all players are found and tagged.

• The last person tagged is the winner and can be the next Seeker if you play again.

Variations

• Safe Spot/Base: Choose a “safe zone” where players can run to avoid being tagged.

• Time Limit: If not everyone is tagged after a certain time, remaining players win.
