Hello, I am princess Luna. I hope it's alright but I had a question for those who are able to read this.

What games did you play as children?

Thank you for your time!

My brother and I often played I know five names and Pryatki. There were no other children around as I grew up so it was just him and I.

That sounds like fun.
How do you play five names and Pryatki? Are they two different games or one game with a long name?

[soulsword]

They are two different games. You play five names with a ball. The person with the ball announces that they know five of a subject and then they name those five. You could say I know five colors and then list five colors. Then you pass the ball. The loser is the one who runs out of things to list or who takes the longest to think of 5.

I won more often than Piotr.

Pryatki is our name for hide and seek. The first person to be the leader turns their head to count and then they go to search for the other.

Do they have to be five different names then? That might be fun but I don't know many names.

I do know hide and seek! Someone else mentioned that too. I didn't know it had so many names!

[soulsword]

No. Not names. Five of any type of subject. Another example would be five fruits. Do you know five different fruits?

Everything has many names. If you want to play hide and seek sometime, I would play with you.

[silent_beauty]

strawberries, apricots, blueberryes, um... cherries and grapes

I think that's all the fruits I know.

Really!? I'd love to play with you! I don't know if I'd be good at it but I've never gotten to play before.

[soulsword]

There! Then you would have won your round and thrown the ball to another.

I bet you would be better than you think. There are probably others we can get to play too.

[silent_beauty]

I see. I am not sure I'd be able to play but once I find my voice, then I will try! I'd like to learn more of these things and that game seems like a good way to do it. I can also play with all sorts of people!

Do you think we could do a big game of hide and seek?
