Playing hide﹣and﹣seek Hide﹣and﹣seek is an old game for children．It is popular around the country．There are two ways to play：Cover a child's eyes while other kids run around to tease（戏弄）him or others hide and one child must try to find them．

Flying kites Kites appeared a long time ago．The earliest kites were made of wood，instead of paper．The three most famous kites are the Beijing kite，Tianjin kite and Weifang kite．Each has its own feature．For example，the bird﹣shaped kite with long wings is the Beijing kite．
