The rules
How to play
1
One player is blindfolded with a piece of cloth.
2
The remaining players spread out within agreed boundaries and make noise to lure the tagger.
3
The blindfolded player tries to catch someone by touch.
4
Once caught, the tagger must guess the caught player's name, if correct, that player is blindfolded next.
5
If wrong, the same player remains the tagger and the game continues.
Keep it fair
Agree on clear borders before play, mark them with shoes or bags. If the blindfolded player walks near the boundary, non-blindfolded players must warn them to protect them from injury.
