  1. When we are tired of hurling, we all gather together to play blind man's buff. One member is choosen to be blindfolded. There is a certain plot provided and who ever goes outside the ring would be suspensed. The blindfolded person keeps going around until he catches some one else, then it will be his turn to be blindfolded. We keep at this until the school whistle sounds to bring us back to school.
