A tiny plan for your day

Estimated time: 2 min to explain · 12 min to play · 1 min to regroup. It's fine to stop early.

Before you start

What you’ll need

  • A safe space with bushes and trees
  • At least two players

Let's begin

Five simple steps

That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.

  1. The seeker stands on a spot and closes their eyes, counting to ten.

  2. Together

    Everyone else hides close by, but must still be able to see the seeker.

  3. The seeker looks around without moving their feet.

  4. If they spot you, they call your name and what you're wearing.

  5. Last one found wins and becomes the seeker.

All done!

That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
