What is a "counting-out game"?
A counting-out game is a simple game often played by children to decide who will participate in a group activity, such as a game or task. It involves counting out loud in a sequence, with each person or object being assigned a number. When the counting reaches a certain point, the person or object corresponding to that number is either chosen or eliminated from the group. Common examples include games like "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" or other rhythmic counting games used to select players for a team or determine a starting player.
