TitleGames for Young Students of Russian
Body
A recent request on the FLTEACH listserv for games to play with children learning Russian received the following reply.

----

How about prjatki (Hide-and-Seek)? Some useful expressions: Raz, dva, tri, chetyre, pjat', ja idu iskat'. Pora-ne pora, ja idu so dvora. Palochka-vyruchalochka.

And then there is Vyshibaly (you will need a ball): one team is divided in half, and the halves are lined up against each other. Another team is in the middle, sandwiched between the parts of the first team. The first team tries to hit out the members of the second team with the ball (vyshibit'). Once hit, the player is out. If any member of the second team manages to catch the ball off air, they get a point (svechka) which can be used when somebody from their team is hit.

I hope it makes sense. Descriptions are always difficult in the second language.
