“Have YOU tried to PLAY under the MOONLIGHT?”

Every child had the moment of playing under the moonlight. I am sure some of you remember playing hide-and-seek in the old days. Of course, it is safer to play this in the old days and not at these days. Would you agree? There are so many evil elements that can lure the child and do bad things to him or her. For me, the safest place to play this simple game is within the house’s backyard. “Do you have fond memories playing hide-and-seek under the moonlight?” Image Credit: pbs.twimg.com

Oh yes I have my fair share of fun for this game. You are right in saying it is not safe playing this game at present time since the streets are not as safe as before.

@rsa101, it's not that reason alone, young children this time are exploited so much with gadgets. Kids at home even during meal time, eyes are on their gadget watching video games. How I like to stop them but their grandparents are tolerating them even their mom. It's so sad of them not experiencing our plays or games part of our culture. Our culture this time is gradually diminishing, soon young and old will be badly exploited with technology.

@cacay1 I guess its because they are manageable when they are just there sitting down on the sides. Than before our parents will go out of the streets to look for us to go home. Although I think that it is unhealthy for them to just be glued to their gadgets since they are not physically exercised and their motor skills are not developed.

@rsa101 , that is what I am afraid of that their eyes will be affected. My friend's son keeps on watching videos eyes so close to the video for many hours and then one day, the mother noticed her son's eyes transformed to cross-eyed. That was so devastating and they spent almost 350,000 for the operation. Her son's cornea and pupil dilated and crossed due to constant and consistent watching. That is what I feared for the boy kids at home Charles 9 , Patrick 7 and their youngest Zarah Shane 2 years old. Baby girl knows how to manipulate her gadget. My goodness.

I live near a cemetery, when I was a girl I liked to play hide and seek, and of course, the best hiding place was the cemetery

I am not sure if I can play hide and seek in the cemetery. I feel creepy to play here.

@emmapadrino In my country, it is not ideal since it is so dark in the local cemeteries. Some people love to do ghost hunting here.

We used to play hide and seek in my friend's garden. My friend's brothers were identical twins. One of them always wore a cap, otherwise I couldn't tell who was who. I needed to know their names because we played a version of hide and seek where we had to say eachother other's names.

I think we play the same way. We call the names. However, I haven't had friends who are twins. It would be cool.

@Shavkat It was fun to play with the twins. They had many pranks and jokes and sometimes they asked to me guess who was who...but I was usually wrong

Hehehe, you now dig my past memories, it chills me. When I was a child, I liked to play hide and seek under the moonlit night. Then so scary appearance appeared in front of me. I was so terrified, but I realized it was a shadow reflected by moon

When I was a young kid, I am quite scared in the province in doing this game. It is because it is dark in my granny's yard. It seems there will be a ghost or something lurking in trees.

In the first place, the cover photo is more than enough to realize that I wouldn't let them play hahaha it is scary, but nevertheless, it is as you say, the children do not have a schedule to play, but regardless if the neighborhood is more insecure or safer, I think I prefer that children at night are already inside the house, unless it is a soft play park or lasers or theme parks, but always under my supervision
