Themes: Friend, Hobbies

Intro

1. Learn Vocabulary - Learn some new vocabulary before you start the lesson.

2. Read and Prepare - Read the introduction and prepare to hear the audio.

You might not be a kid anymore, but can you still squeeze in a closet or under a bed? OK, then you can still have fun playing hide and seek.

You remember hide and seek, don’t you? One person looks away and counts while all the others hide. The first one to be discovered loses and has to hunt for the others in the next round. That person is called it.

Check out this Cloverfield-inspired video of the Ebaby! cast playing hide and seek.

3. Watch - Watch the video without reading the dialog.

Discussion

When the person who is it is done counting and ready to look for everyone, he or she yells, “Ready or not, here I come!” Mason hears Jason yell those words, but he still doesn’t have a hiding spot!

He looks under the table, but Beren is already there. Marni is already crouched in the corner of the kitchen. He peeks behind the curtains, but Amanda is already there!

So Mason runs upstairs and looks in the closet. Devan tells him to get lost. Now he’s trapped. Jason walks in and tags him.

When’s the last time you played hide and seek? What children’s game do you like to play with your friends?

"Where am I gonna hide ? Where am I gonna hide ? ". Oh, I couldn't help breaking out laughing when seeing his funny emergent situation. The first look at the title of this new lesson quickly brought back to me some feeling, some memories in which we made lovely hiding and then surprisingly caught up. I can't remember the time, as well as anyone of you here, either. I really wish I could have a chance to get a play again, this time, perhaps, with my young nephews.

In Sri Lanka we do a game call “I SPY YOU” where tin loaded with small tin will be thrown to some distance and one person call “catcher” should go and pick the tin and bring back to the same place and should be kept on the ground. While he brings the tin all others should hide and catcher should find others and tag them. After tagging each person he has to come back to his place and by shaking the tin he has to call each person's name. If he finds everyone , person who been tagged firstly will become a catcher in next turn. But before he catches everyone if some one come and kick the tin without knowing to the catcher he should find everyone in next turn too.

Yes, it reminds me my childhood. But now, sometimes I play hide and seek with my daughter, but it's a different feeling now. It seems that when I was young, we have more places to hide, we have more kids playing together, and it's so hard to find all kids. I remenber once after I've hiddend for so long time and came out, I found that the kid couldn't find others, and went back home. The game was over!  But now, there are always my parents, my hub, my daughter and I playing this game. To say the truth, not everyone enjoy the game the same way as my daughter, what the others really enjoy is just making her happy.
