Nature = The Greatest Playground

Have the seeker count to 30 with eyes closed. While the seeker is counting, the rest of the group hides in the defined area. It is a challenge to become invisible in the natural surroundings. For example, if you are wearing green, you could lay down in the green grass. This can be an indoor game, too.
