Number of Players: Ideally at least three.

The general idea is that one person is 'it,' that person closes his or her eyes and counts to a certain number without looking and then he or she tries to find the others. Sometimes there is a home base that you can run to and tag, becoming 'safe,' sometimes you just wait to be found. Sometimes you count to twenty, sometimes ten, sometimes one hundred. I've heard of all kinds of variations on this game. Most parents have played with their kids, since hiding and finding is a common interest of small children. Use your imagination! Hide and SeekĮveryone has played this one. Also, most of these games can be changed or improved by making up your own rules. But most of them are best when done outside with a group of people. Some can be done by yourself or with just one friend. Listed below are some no-tech games that you may have enjoyed as a kid. We kept ourselves quite occupied without any of today's modern technologies. We also made the most of recess at school.

When I was a kid, we played outside with the other kids in the neighborhood with most of our free time.
