  2. Games I Play - Blind Man's Buff

    Share Share Post
    Blind Man's Buff can be played by any number of players.
    The players cast lots for the first player to be blindfolded. When they have blindfolded the player that the lot falls on, they run away and he goes after them. When he catches anyone he and the person caught must do as in touch.
    If he guesses the name of the person caught that person must be blindfolded. If he guesses wrongly he has to catch someone else.
    This is more of an indoor game than an outdoor one.
