  1. As many as wish may play this game. A company all gather together. One is chosen to look for the rest. That person goes and hides his face while the others all go and hide also. When they are all settled they call out "cuckoo." Then the seeker goes to find them. The first caught then goes and seeks for the rest as before. If he finds no one, he has to seek again while the rest have to change places.
