In China what is the babies game 'peek-a-boo' called? What do you say to the babies when you play? In China what is the babies game 'peek-a-boo' called? What do you say to the babies when you play? In English we cover our eyes and say 'peek-a', then as we uncover our eyes we shout 'boo'.All of the answers given when I looked on places like Goodle and Youtube for people playing them etc, they all showed games of 'Hide N Seek'. This is a different game. So I am even more confused now. Maybe Chinese people don't play peek-a-boo?Ahhh not to worry people, I found a Chinese family video showing the game, they called it 躲躲猫 and the mum just says peep boo.
