The rules
How to play
1
All players form a loose boundary (an agreed playing area).
2
One player is blindfolded, the Mosca Cieca (blind fly).
3
The others move quietly around the space, occasionally making small sounds to tease the blindfolded player.
4
The blindfolded player tries to tag someone; when they succeed, they must identify the caught person by feel or voice.
5
If correct, the caught player becomes the new Mosca Cieca.
6
If the identification is wrong, the blind fly must try again.
Keep it fair
Agree the playing boundary clearly before starting and have bystanders call out if the blind player is about to walk into something sharp or trip.
