    Hide-And-Go-Seek.
    This game can be played by two or three or four. You give it out with a rhyme like "Tig" and whoever is out last, hides her head while the others go and hide. Then the ones that are hidden say "Cook!" and the person follows them and whoever is caught last has to be the seeker.
