- All the children catch hands in a ring and you blindfold one he is called Jacob then you pick one out of the ring she is called Rachael then when Jacob catches Rachael he has to guess who it is if he does not guess correct he has to stay blindfold until he does but if he guesses who it is that person will have to be blindfold. While they are playing they game, the boy calls "Rachael" and the girl calls "Jacob" and this gives the person that is blindfold an idea of where the other one is.
