  1. Blind-Mans-Buff - is my favourite game. It is played by girls out-of-doors. The children is in a row and another child is put in the middle and she is blindfolded. She tries to catch a child and says her name. If she says the right name the person she caught is then blindfolded. Then she tries to catch another child and then she is blindfolded. This continues till every child is picked out.
