    Share Share Post
    Blind Mans Buff is played the following way.
    During the winter the children play the game.
    One of the players ties a cloth around his head he runs around the kitchen with his hands stretched out and tries to catch someone. They generally play the game in their feet.
    They have great fun playing the game.
    The one whom he is following keeps very silent fear the be caught.
