One game that I really liked to play as a child was Hide and Seek. It was a game I used to play with my cousins and even with my school friends when I was little. To play Hide and Seek, we needed a minimum of three people. One person would be the seeker, and the rest would hide in various positions. The game was played in such a way that the seeker would have five or ten minutes, depending on the time limit set, to find all the hiders. If the time ran out and the seeker hadn't found all the hiders, then he lost while the hiders won. It was a very fun activity to play this game since, at that time, we did not have mobile phones or gaming consoles to pass the time. So playing Hide and Seek with my cousins and friends was very entertaining, and it allowed us to bond together, creating many memories. There were times when some of us hid in very odd places, so whenever we remember those specific games, it tends to make us laugh. It will always be one of the most memorable parts of our lives.
