The rules
How to play
1
Players form a wide circle as the boundary.
2
One player is blindfolded as the catcher; another is the goat.
3
Both are spun around to disorient them.
4
The goat must bleat periodically when called upon by the watching players.
5
The catcher listens and moves toward the sounds while the goat dodges silently.
6
When the catcher grabs the goat, roles rotate.
7
A piece of cloth is used as the blindfold.
Keep it fair
Set a time limit of two minutes, if the goat is not caught, the goat wins and picks the next catcher. This stops the game from dragging.
