Camouflage

🌱by the Forest School App team

The seeker stands still and the hiders have to stay in sight of them, hidden by stillness and cover alone.

How it goes

The seeker stands on a stump and counts to twenty, eyes closed.
Hiders must stay where they can still see the seeker.
The seeker can turn and look but not move their feet; they name anyone they spot.
The seeker counts down again, a little faster, and hiders must move closer each round.
The last one hidden is the next seeker.
