GÜRCANLI - HIDE AND SEEK

Image
The midwife closes her eyes and counts from 1 to 20 the time that the other players can hide, and as a nursery rhyme she says "the midwife who does not hide from my right and left" and opens her eyes and starts to look for those who are hiding.  Those who hide in the open air in the house and woodland are searched by the midwife and the first person seen is questioned, this person is punished as a midwife.  Those who are not caught continue the game by hiding.   

BURSA - WOLF FATHER

Image
First, a wolf father and mother are chosen. The remaining players become the mother's children. After the election is over, the wolf moves away from the father, mother and children. Later, the mother gives her children a color name without telling the wolf father. Then the wolf, who has gone away, returns to the father, mother and children. He knocks on the mother's door, imaginatively, and the following conversations take place between them: Daddy Wolf - Tık tık Mom – Who is she?  Wolf Dad - Wolf Dad.  Mom - What do you want? Wolf Dad - Egg.  Mom – What color? Which player's color is the color of the wolf father, that player starts to run away. If the fleeing player comes to his place without being caught, the wolf gets rid of the father. If the wolf is caught by the father, the wolf takes over the father's duty. So the game goes on.

EVLIYA ÇELEBI - NINE TILES GAME

Image
It is a game that requires 9 broken tiles and a ball. There are two groups in the game. At least 6 people, more people will be more fun.   Which group will start the game is determined. A circle is drawn in the middle. 9 tiles are placed on top of each other in the circle. Whichever group will be the player, the other group is given the task of demolishing the tiles and then stacking them on top of each other. Of course, inside the first drawn circle.   For the non-player group, a line is drawn about 3 meters ahead of the 9 tiles.   And line up behind this line.   From here, the tiles are tried to be demolished.   When the tiles are destroyed, the player of the group that becomes a player tries to hit the people with the ball without laying the tiles, while the other group tries to lay the tiles without hitting the player. If tiles are laid without hitting the player, the game remains in the same player group.   If the player hits everyone in the group without laying the tiles, this ti

ROMÂNIA - HIDE AND SEEK

Image
  Hide and seek is a popular children's game in which at least two players (usually at least three) conceal themselves in a set environment, to be found by one or more seekers.  The game is played by one chosen player (designated as being "it") counting to a predetermined number with eyes closed while the other players hide.  After reaching this number, the player who is "it" calls "Ready or not, here I come!" or "Coming, ready or not!" and then attempts to locate all concealed players. The game can end in one of several ways. The most common way of ending is the player chosen as "it" locates all players; the player found first is the loser and is chosen to be "it" in the next game.  The player found last is the winner.  Another common variation has the seeker counting at "home base"; the hiders can either remain hidden or they can come out of hiding to race to home base; once they touch it, they a
