"Cops and robbers" is a classic children's game where players take on the roles of law enforcement officers and criminals. The objective for the cops is to catch the robbers, while the robbers try to evade capture. The game often involves running, hiding, and strategizing to outsmart the opposing team. Typically played outdoors, the game can be adapted to various settings and rules. Players may designate specific areas as "safe zones" or "jails" where captured robbers can be held. The game encourages physical activity, teamwork, and imaginative play among children.
