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!

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.

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,

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?
