Play peek a boo

Play peek a boo
 

Hola,

Cómo se dice eso en español? También me tocó interpretar--

to crawl--gatear

to creep--arrastrarse

to scoot--??

Gracias a todos. Cuento con ustedes!

Marsopa:)

Peek-a-boo: Juego que consiste en esconderse los ojos con las manos y quitárselas de repente al decir peek-a-boo para hacer reir a un bebé.
En algunos paises, dicen cucu al cubrir los ojos y acá/aquí taaaa cuando quitan las manos (otros dicen dónde ta en vez de cucu). Algunos dicen tras en vez de acá/aquí ta.

I couldn't find a translation for to scoot. Your other translations are correct.

Depending on the context, scoot could be arrimarse, moverse, hacerse a un lado etc.

Careful with hacerse a un lado; it can also be used figuratively.

Some more options for peek-a-boo:

Jugar a aparecer y desaparecer
Jugar a taparse la cara

You might even be able to use:

Jugar a escondidas con un bebé

Even though escondidas is really hide-and-seek.

Names I found for the game:
¿Dónde está el bebé?
Pikabú
"Peek-a-boo" (untranslated)

In the Spanish dubbed version of Ice Age I (La Era de Hielo I), Diego was playing with the baby and that's what he was saying while playing peek-a-boo.

"¿Dónde está el bebé? ¡Aquí está el bebé!"
"¿Dónde está el bebé? ¡Aquí está el bebé!"

¡Eso! :good::thumbsup:

i also call it cucú (it's like a cuckoo bird, showing and dissapearing)
I will try to find the translation at home.
saludos :D

thanks
 

Well, I think I said "jugar a escondidas" but maybe next time I will say "dónde está el bebé?"

As far as "scoot" goes, maybe I will just stil with moverse (sentado).

thanks,

:rolleyes:

Cúcú...
Tras, tras...
Cúcú...
tras, tras...

This is what they always say to me. When saying cúcú, they show their faces. When saying tras, tras, they hide them. Can anybody explain it to me?

Don´t tell me someone still say that to you...:eek:
You should be the one saying that to Candela.;)
