Zat in een kous, also known as “Sitting in a sock,” is a popular Dutch children’s game that has been played for generations. This simple yet entertaining game is perfect for any group of kids looking to have a good time and is a great way to pass the time during a rainy day indoors.
The game is played with a group of children sitting in a circle, each holding a long sock in their hands. One child is chosen to be the “zat in een kous” and they must sit in the middle of the circle with their eyes closed. The other children in the circle then pass the sock around behind their backs, trying to be as sneaky as possible.
Once the sock has made its way around the circle, the child in the middle must open their eyes and try to guess who is holding the sock. If they are able to correctly guess who has the sock, that child then becomes the new “zat in een kous” and the game continues.
This game is not only fun for children to play, but it also helps to improve their observation skills and ability to focus. It also encourages teamwork and cooperation as the children work together to pass the sock around without getting caught.
Zat in een kous is a classic game that has stood the test of time and continues to be enjoyed by children all over the world. So the next time you find yourself looking for a fun and engaging game to play with a group of kids, give Zat in een kous a try and watch as the laughter and excitement ensue.
